Chiquita has a long history as a terrible company. I have avoided their products for years and I have similar choice I make for similar companies. However, I do routinely question whether it makes sense to do this given that the people that did a lot of these terrible things are long dead. Companies are not things themselves and really are the people they're made of. You'd have to think that there's some long-lasting influence that causes terrible people to congregate in a company or somehow the culture in the company makes people act badly, and also think that that influence can persist for decades. Is that reasonable? Then you get news like this, and yeah, it seems pretty reasonable.
