10 Companies That Control Almost Everything We Eat

[wa3zrm]

Oxfam International has made a graphic showing how a handful of corporations control nearly everything we buy at the grocery store. The graphic focuses on 10 of the world's most powerful food and beverage companies: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Unilever, Danone, Mars, Mondelez International, Kellogg's, General Mills, Nestle, and Associated British Foods.
Oxfam calls these companies the Big 10 and keeps a scorecard on their environmental impact on a website devoted to the nonprofit's "Behind the Brands" campaign.
The campaign aims to make the companies more environmentally and socially conscious.
According to one of Oxfam's most recent reports, the Big 10 emitted 263.7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2013 and if the companies were a nation, it would be the 25th most polluting country in the world.

All the end products listed are highly processed foods and mainly junk. If people eat nearly 100% junk and processed foods then they are not going to be very healthy are they?

All the more reason to buy what you can that is fresh, in season, and locally grown/reared and make the food you eat yourself.

It is very dangerous to allow a small number of companies feed the population.

Same goes for large Industrial Agriculture and Small-scale Farming...as you said by in season and by "local" whenever possible.
