Big Food-New York Times

I found this editorial very interesting. It talks about corporation merging and really how much those corporations are expanding in size and by products. A lot of the companies I have known of for a while but didn't know that they had either merged or got bought out by another company. For example I think Dr. Hansen said the original Chex name brand the other day but I can't remember it, but Chex was bought out by General Mills. Some other merges are Pennzoil and Quaker State, Procter & Gamble's purchase of Tambrands, etc. These mergers are also leading to higher prices as well. This editorial is very informative to the reader and leaves the reader off on a good/opinionated ending. "Call us pessimists, but chances are it won't be long before they all taste the same."
