Organic Food Industry Bought Up by Corporations Like Coca-Cola

You may be wondering why some supposedly ‘healthy’ and ‘environmentally conscious’ companies deceive unknowing consumers into purchasing products with hidden additives and fillers.

Perhaps one of the main reasons is that a large number of these pseudo-organic brands are owned by their very unhealthy ‘competitors’, such as Coca-Cola and General Mills. In fact, some of your favorite “All Natural” and organic companies may be owned by a corporate giant.

Companies like  Honest Tea and Odwalla  may appeal to health conscious shoppers, but they are actually owned by Coca-Cola — the very same company that is currently fuming over the requirement to change their recipes in order to avoid a  cancer warning label.

Another popular ‘health’ brand is Kashi, owned by the Kellogg corporation. It should come as no surprise that Kashi cereals have been found to contain a copious amount of GMOs and pesticides, according to an explosive  report  from the Cornucopia Institute.  Kashi’s  ’Heart to Heart Blueberry cereal’  was found  to contain grains coated in the residue of  many pesticides  such as  phosmet, carbaryl, azinphos methyl, malathion, chlorpyrifos methyl, chlorpyrifos. What’s more, the company’s products were found to  oftentimes contain  100% genetically modified ingredients.

This information has been known for quite some time. Here’s a really revealing image from  Michigan State University  that reveals  who really owns your favorite company. See if yours is owned by a corporate giant (click for full size):

When viewing this information, it becomes much clearer as to why many ‘health food’ companies are deceiving you about the ingredients in their products. It’s time to move away from companies that have been bought up by corporations like Kraft and Coca-Cola and support independent organic brands that actually abstain from GMOs, pesticides, and hazardous additives. The fact of the matter is that these corporate giants  know  that people do not want to buy their health-crushing garbage anymore, and are making a last ditch effort to buy up  phony health companies  in order to secure their fortune.

That is why we see legitimate brands like  New Chapter  being grabbed by Proctor & Gamble. While pretending to be a part of the health movement, these corrupt ‘health’ brands are doing nothing but deceiving customers and wrecking the health of families worldwide. What they don’t expect is activism to completely financially suffocate their attempt at playing the good guys.
