Well thiongs have changed a lot since 2008. Need to look again but I think Kraft left Altria ( phillip morris ) holding since then. they sold off a lot of stuff that had little or nothing to do with the foods division and I think maybe back then they might have had a stake in one of the oil companies which they no longer are involved with.

BP is undoubtedly no longer near the top. They were playing the green game with alternative energy research and production but this boondoggle will earn them number one on the worst list even if they can show it wasn't their fault ( which if the worker who was on sixty min last week is telling the truth , they have no chance of doing and could maybe blame their guy on the rig for going beyond his level of authourity if they don't have e-mails and memeos that show upper level management was involved ).
As a matter of fact I was thinking just the other day that exxon/mobil is now off the hook as # 1 bad oil company even though they have also been in the forefront of alternative energy research for maybe twenty years or more.
Krafts Jello making op did get in trouble back a decade or so and got slammed for pollution and the plant closed down. But that was even befor altria got involved I think.
Might want to get the latest printing of the book..... on the otyher hand in a year the rankings might all change so much that what's in there now might be way off the mark.

I suppose they all have websites so you can get the latest updates but that is never as handy as a manual you can carry with you...
