These 10 companies control all foods you buy

> In an effort to push these companies to make positive changes – and for customers to realize who controls the brands they’re buying – Oxfam created a mind-boggling infographic that shows how interconnected consumer brands really are.

Haven't found the infographic per se but the initiative is quite relevant indeed -> https://www.behindthebrands.org/ and that is quite revealing to the unaware -> https://www.behindthebrands.org/brands/

If you can, please buy whole (not processed) foods at a farmers' market instead of processed foods from these mega corporations.

- You end up eating a much wider variety of food, depending on what is in season.

- You end up eating delicious foods that may not travel well, such as amazing heirloom strawberry and tomato varieties during the summer.

- You cut out the middleman, and support local businesses instead of multinational food conglomerates.

- You will probably end up eating less meat, but will enjoy the meat you do eat more.

- You'll wind up meeting the same people every week at the market, turning grocery shopping into a social event.

In short, farmers' markets are good for the environment, your health, the economy, and the community. Use them!

Processed foods at grocery stores, at least. Here's what I assume the oxfam infographic in the article's dead link looks like: https://www.behindthebrands.org/images/media/Images/About/be...

The Behind the Brands website hasn't been updated since 2016, though, so this might be a little out of date.

This really only applies if your diet basically consists of processed junk or bottled drinks / bottled water.
