Just when you think there’s no end to the diversity of junk food
lining supermarket aisles, an insanely detailed infographic comes
along to set us all straight. Out of the hundreds of products at our
disposal, only ten major corporations manufacture the bulk of
what we toss in our shopping carts.
So whether you’re looking to stock up on anything from orange
soda to latte-flavored potato chips, Mondelez, Kraft, Coca-Cola,
Nestlé, PepsiCo, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, Mars, Danone,
General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Unilever own just about everything

you could hope to buy. It seems that six degrees of separation
theory has been proven after all, if only because we all drink Diet
Coke every now and then.
In order to visually elucidate that point, Oxfam International
created a comprehensive infographic that reveals the extensive
reach of the “Big 10” food and beverage companies. Unlikely ties
between brands we largely don’t associate with one another show
how easy it is to be misinformed about the American food system.
For example, PepsiCo produces Quaker granola bars, and Nestlé
makes Kit Kat bars but also frozen California Pizza Kitchen pies.
To the surprise of many, Pineapple Fanta isn’t sourced straight
from the mythical Fanta Islands, but canned right alongside Barq’s
root beer at the Coca-Cola factory.
Obviously, the horrors extend far beyond our own shattered
daydreams. Massive corporations squash entrepreneurial diversity
and make it nearly impossible for startups and small businesses to

compete. According to Oxfam’s report, “The world’s largest food
and beverage companies have a lot of power - but you have more.
And because they’re not using theirs enough to help poor
communities or the planet, you can use yours to change the way
they do business.”
If yow’re looking to avoid contributing to the Big 10 world
takeover, try shopping at local farmers’ markets and maybe skip
out on soda and highly processed foods altogether. Your body will
thank you for it in the long run anyway.
