A&W Root Beer
Outside Canada, the rights to the A&W brand are owned by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, which in turn licenses the brand to the similarly named U.S.-based restaurant chain; A&W products are distributed via various U.S. bottlers. A&W Food Services of Canada, which is independent of both DPSG and the U.S. chain, is responsible for both the restaurants and the marketing of root beer products in that country, with retail products being bottled and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company.

"with this little choice of food"
I've held off from saying anything about this diagram in the x times its been posted here recently... but I only consume about 4 products from that list, one of which is coca-cola, another of which is a brand of washing powder, neither of which I particularly care if they come from a megaCorp.
My point being that I, as a not-particularly bothered consumer find it very easy — my default position, in fact —to not buy lock-n'stock from the megaCorps.
In fact, I imagine you'd have to be borderline-imbecilic to buy the majority of your fodstuffs from these companies.
Which is to say, this is only shocking or enlightening if you're the most thoughtless of morons.

"with this little choice of food"
I don't think the people here understand the implications of fertilizers / pesticides / feed / feed lot operations / diseases / etc... the food source is screwed from the source of our foods food, the fish are ingesting toxins just as the livestock are both intentionally and unintentionally and passing them up the food chain to us. it's becoming a challenge to find good food anywhere, it's not put in the places that sell the shit, organic farms aren't available in every community.
of course everyone here wants to sound like they're the most well balanced and well fed but I wouldn't be surprised if half of you are eating shit you don't know about...
i'm jealous of the UK crowd who has a government working to protect them from Monsanto and other companies invading the food source

Corporativism
The organization of a society into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and exercising control over persons and activities within their jurisdiction.

I really don't get what's so surprising about this ... so ten companies dominate American junk food? That's a fair amount more than computers/automobiles.

yes.. its' normal in a way... but to see so much red and blue and yellow and round stuff in those logos......
I have to remembrer that Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever.... yes I worked on some Unilever brands in my time.... but of all of them here, it seems Unilever has some of the least obviously big corporation brands....

re: autos
it's harder to get your food in a store than it is your car on the road. the big 3 exist but don't discount all the other manufacturers still in existence & the ones that keep coming up... LM & Tesla come to mind. full list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis…
also, with this little choice of food, trade secrets are kept from the public and choice of nutrient intake is not really a choice. carbon spectrographs (sp?) of our hair would reveal most Americans are corn carbon based.
If organic and other food manufactures could provide real food at a competitive price to this over processed food, we'd see more independent food options just as we do auto options.

I love that all these major corporations have roots in America still represented by family/original names. Ideas that succeeded. Long live the industrial revolution. Long live industry.
Sad what became of them though. I wonder if a vision of selling overpriced almost food to make fellow humans sick was ever the plan.

"with this little choice of food"
*little choice of processed junk food.
There's plenty of food out there that isn't produced by these companies. Like, the vast majority. As in, 99% of food isn't produced by these companies.
- Including grow your own, farmer's market, know your butcher, etc., etc.melq
- dont forget Japanese junk food. Plenty of choice there.futuremongolian
- japanese junk food is amazing, sometimes full of MSG and other stuff that gives me headaches next dayvaxorcist

go into a retail store and look for foods that don't contain the same ingredients propagated by these giants.
kroger dillons albertsons ralphs food for less piggly wiggly etc (all major retailers) all have contracts to move product so they buy the at a discounted rate.
vegetables are grown to not reproduce containing chemicals that lead directly to cancer
antibiotics and other medications in the feed of chicken, pork and beef that we end up ingesting
considering the diet of all livestock in america is being pushed as corn over hay the animals are near sick when we're slaughtered.
if you think the food you're eating in america is okay for you, youre sadly mistaken. Once monsanto has their way for another generation, the rest of the planet is fucked too.
combine all that with the fake eggs that are prolific in China for the last 8 years causing dementia and memory loss...
and...
Food is fucked, if you think differently, ignorance is bliss or you eat from your own organic farm.
