  • Stop & Shop V. Danbury, CV-0804021509S
    NO. CV 08 4021509S : SUPERIOR COURT STOP & SHOP SUPERMARKET COMPANY : JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF : NEW BRITAIN v. : CITY OF DANBURY : AUGUST 17, 2010 CORRECTED MEMORANDUM OF DECISION The plaintiff, Stop & Shop Supermarket Company (Stop & Shop) brings this six- count amended complaint contesting the valuation placed upon two of its properties located in the city of Danbury (city) for the revaluation year of October 1, 2007 and the subsequent Grand List years of 2008 and 2009. The two properties that are the subject of this appeal are 70 Newtown Road (Newtown Road) and 44 Lake Avenue Extension (Lake Avenue). The Newtown Road property consists of a 9.73 acre parcel of land located on the westerly side of Newtown Road in the city’s east central section. The property consists of a one-story, multi-tenant neighborhood shopping center known as Nutmeg Square. It contains approximately 91,895 square feet of gross leasable area that includes a 59,743 square-foot Stop & Shop regional supermarket and 32,152 square feet of satellite store space. There are 447 parking spaces on-site. The center was originally constructed in 1980 and has since been renovated. As of October 1, 2007, the center was 100% leased to multiple tenants. Nutmeg Square, LLC acquired the Newtown Road property on April 28, 1997. In 1983, Stop & Shop entered into its original lease with the previous landlord. The original lease contained a provision and amendments thereto to reimburse the landlord for real estate taxes on the subject premises with the right to contest, in its name or in the name of the landlord, any assessment or taxes imposed on the Newtown Road property.

  • Impossible Foods
    IMPOSSIBLE FOODS MISSION Our mission is to restore biodiversity and reduce the impact of climate change by transforming the global food system. To do this, we make delicious, nutritious, affordable and sustainable meat, fish and dairy from plants. Animal agriculture occupies nearly half of the world’s land, is responsible for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consumes 25% of the world’s freshwater. We make meat using a small fraction of land, water and energy, so people can keep eating what they love. FOUNDING STORY During a sabbatical in 2009, Stanford University Professor Dr. Patrick O. Brown decided to switch the course of his career to address the urgent problem of climate change. In particular, he wanted to make the global food system sustainable by making meat, fish and dairy from plants — which have a much lower carbon footprint than meat, fish and dairy from animals. Pat brought together a team of top scientists to analyze meat at the molecular level and determine precisely why meat smells, handles, cooks and tastes the way it does. Together, we developed a world-class archive of proprietary research and technology to recreate the entire sensory experience of meat, dairy and fish using plants. We debuted our first product, Impossible Burger, in 2016, and we plan to commercialize additional meat, fish and dairy products around the world.

  • Impossible™ Foods and Posthumanism in the Meat Aisle
    humanities Article Grilling Meataphors: Impossible™ Foods and Posthumanism in the Meat Aisle Paul Muhlhauser 1,* , Marie Drews 2 and Rachel Reitz 1 1 English Department, McDaniel College, Westminster, MD 21157, USA; [email protected] 2 English Department, Luther College, Decorah, IA 52101, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: There has always been a posthuman aspect to the processing and consumption of animal- based meats, especially as cuts of meat are distanced from the animals supplying them, thus turning the animals themselves into information more so than bodies. Plant-based meat has doubled down on its employment of posthuman rhetoric, to become what the authors suggest are meataphors, or the articulation of meat as a pattern of information mapped onto a substrate in a way that is not exclusively linguistic. Impossible™ Foods’s meats, in particular, can be considered meataphors that participate in a larger symbolic and capitalistic endeavor to stake a claim in the animal-based meat market using more traditional advertising strategies; however, Impossible™ Foods’s meats are also, more implicitly, making posthuman moves in their persuasive efforts, rhetorically shifting both the meaning of meat and what it means to choose between animal-based and plant-based meats, in a way that parallels posthumanism’s emphasis on information. Impossible™ Foods, through their persuasive practices, has generated a new narrative of what sustains bodies, beyond the spatially significant juxtapositions with animal-based meats. Impossible™ Foods takes on the story of meat and remediates it for audiences through their semiotic practices, thus showing how the company employs a posthumanist approach to meat production and consumption.

(July 30, 2020) –– Impossible Foods’ flagship product will begin rolling out today at Walmart, the world’s largest retailer.

  • 04 2021 Impossible Foods Launches First National
    IMPOSSIBLE FOODS LAUNCHES FIRST NATIONAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN, “WE ARE MEAT” • Impossible Foods is launching its first mainstream, mass-market advertising campaign, “We Are Meat” • The campaign aims to build awareness of Impossible Foods’ flagship product, Impossible™ Burger, now available in grocery stores nationwide • Following a year of epic growth, Impossible™ products are now in about 20,000 grocery stores and 30,000 restaurants, with up to 82% of sales coming at the direct expense of animal-derived products REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (April 6, 2021) –– Impossible Foods is launching its first national advertising campaign as the leading food tech startup accelerates growth and takes advantage of mounting economies of scale. The campaign, titled “We Are Meat,” features TV spots with the meaty, mouth-watering images and salacious sizzle of the company’s award-winning burgers. Produced by Portland, Ore.-based Wieden+Kennedy, the advertisements proudly and unapologetically claim that Impossible Burger, which contains no animal ingredients, is meat for meat lovers — made from plants. The concept challenges the notion that meat must come exclusively from animals. Impossible Burger, which contains no animal ingredients, animal hormones or antibiotics, tastes like beef and is hailed as a triumph of food engineering -- the result of nearly a decade of research and development. “We are investing in a nationwide campaign to show Americans that Impossible products deliver the whole delicious, meaty experience people crave — without the disastrous environmental toll of livestock,” said Impossible Foods CEO and Founder Dr. Patrick O. Brown. “We can replace yesterday’s ridiculous, animal-based technology with a categorically better way of transforming plants into meat.
