Who Makes Your Food?

A ginormous number of brands are controlled by just 10 multinationals, according to this amazing infographic from French blogConvergence Alimentaire. Now we can see just how many products are owned by Kraft, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, P&G and Nestlé. A mere 8 communications companies control almost all the media in the United States, and another mere 10 companies control a huge portion of the food that people eat. And what is the object of their corporate activity? Profit. Food is just a means to that end. If you want really healthy food join up with the slow money movement, or community supported agriculture.
