79 States?
Were there really 79 states in the 1980's?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.206.148 (talk) 23:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Kill / slaughter
An anonymous user reverted my use of "kill" to "slaughter" with "(POV - "slaughter" is the commonly used term)"

It would take a new and interesting level of petty-mindedness to start an reversion war over this, but for the record: I think "kill" and "slaughter" are both fairly objective terms, and I only changed "slaughter" to "kill" to avoid repeating the word in the section heading, after replacing the clearly POV "Pork Production".

"Slaughter" is the commonly used term in the industry, that's true. But the industry is made of people with a particular POV, so that itself is not a reason to use it.

Anyway, I'm happy with "slaughter". It's neither an emotive term like "murder" nor a euphemism like "processed". I'm just puzzled that someone saw the objective "kill" as POV.

Meaningless PRspeak
"Instead of using people to build the business, Johnsonville made a cultural shift where the business would help build its people." Nice, snazzy catchphrase, but what on earth does it actually mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.218.46.84 (talk) 23:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Founders and HQ
Some smartalecs in France appear to have highjacked the Johnsonville Foods founders' names and headquarters location--I don't want to edit it because who knows what companies get bought out these days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvhcpa (talk • contribs) 17:19, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Corporate structure
I was researching this article to add more reliable sources and came across a different name for the company, so I wanted to bring it here to the Talk page. Although this WP article title is Johnsonville Foods, I found this source in the Milwaukee Business Journal refer to it as Johnsonville LLC. Then in 2019, this Milwaukee Business Journal article refers to Johnsonville Holdings Inc. as the "parent company ... of Johnsonville LLC." Makes me wonder if this article should be called Johnsonville LLC (instead of Johnsonville Foods), and we can then refer to the holding company within the article. Any input from other Wikipedians on this topic is welcome. Some of everything (talk) 19:53, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
