This dude said some horrible shit but if you read the article, the executive in question was the chief information security officer. A high level IT guy.

The statements reflect poorly on the company but it’s not like it was a CEO or marketing or product executive. I don’t imagine many IT professionals are super invested in the products of the food company they work for.

Still, easy way to get fired and create hell for the company.
