Why does Coca Cola own a milk company? To combat Pilk with Cilk?
Mars (as in the candy company) is the largest veterinary company in the world.
Because subsidiaries.
These big corporations can leverage those subsidies very easily too. It's be perfect, if they didn't have to increase profits on fixed margins
In 2013, I messaged Coca-Cola on Facebook and asked them if Dasani was run off water from their soda factories. They blocked me.
Because corporations need to own everything. Global food trade is split up almost entirely by ten corporations: https://ourfuture.org/20170105/oxfam-ten-multinational-corporations-control-most-food-brands
Have fun trying to find food items in a supermarket that ar not in any way related to any of these.
Have successfully eliminated Nestle and cocoa related products from my life. I know its not even close to nano impact but its the least I can do ๐
Every dollar not going to nestle helps.
If only that graphic could be opened, zoomed in, to actually see the various brands...
I mostly see this chart focused on ultra processed foods, so the base ingredients are mostly safe?
Also as a filthy Scandinavian, Orkla Group does have quite a lot available in the ultra processed category
I guess it depends on your supermarkets where they get their produce from, but I wouldn't rule out even local farms somehow being owned through subsidiaries by these corporations.
