Say Good Night to the Good Ramen! Nissin is PATHETIC!

Very recently, big corporation Nissin has announced that they are taking their low fat Ramen noodles off the market for very little good reason (the only low fat Ramen that was on the market in a readily findable way in the US), leaving its consumers to just purchase Nissin's extremely high fat ramen products, which pack 14-16 grams of mostly saturated fat per pathetic little package (not to mention the HUGE amounts of sodium and carbs). Nissin now has a permanent place on my consumer-goods HALL OF SHAME. This move, in the worst recession we've seen in decades (meaning college students and many many adults nationwide are looking to cut back on eating expenses and are looking to lower budget alternatives like ramen noodles), which removes the only low fat variety of ramen noodles on the market, absolutely demonstrates Nissin's complete and utter disregard for the health of its customers. Ramen noodles -- so often the dietary choice of the lower income folks -- are so pathetically unhealthy, packing in TONS of carbs, fat and sodium. They fill your belly, and then they quickly send you on your way to the grave at very same time. Nissin should be absolutely ashamed of itself. Nissin is the slimeball corporation of 2009!!!!
