Valuable.
Which of those companies make things in America?
Which of those things have exported American jobs, to China?
Support the companies which make things in America. Strongly.
As for making things in China?
To heck with anything having to do with those company.
Bring back American jobs.
Now.
In a FREE market within a FREE society, such consolidation opens the door for upstart competition.
In a fascist society, of course, the new ventures cannot overcome the regulatory advantages enjoyed by the government approved monopolies.
As of October 31, 2013.
You would rather the government provide these products? The problem is the government creates a regulatory environment in which only very large corporations can afford to comply while at the same time fulfilling all market demands.
Anyone who has taken a good look at the back label or considered taking part in a boycott has figured this out pretty quickly.
Consider this for a moment, all these products are concentrated in the hands of ten corporations, but as near as I can tell, they seem to be in competition with each other. Coca cola and PepsiCo, Nestle and Mars, etc.

BFL
Eat real food and you barely encounter those corporations at all.
Also, only two or three credit companies.
The Nation magazine is a hard left Bolshevik rag. They actually think that the media is too right wing so they want to start another “independent” one. Wow, just wow.
Damned Capitalists. Hang them all.
Budweiser is not on the list.
While the chart is pretty and enlightening, I would much rather have a list that can be searched. If I am looking for who owns a certain fast food chain, it is going to take a while to find it.
Also, the implication of this chart is that Mrs. RWA and I buy mostly food, especially fast food, snacks, soft drinks, and bathroom supplies. Not the reality. It also doesn’t give any idea of market share.
It needs to be updated to show Mondelez.

I don’t see Chef Boyardee on that chart! (LOL— it’s owned by ConAgra).
Hard to tell whether this is helpful information, or just another stab at big business. The chart doesn’t show how much autonomy the smaller brand companies have, how many of their employees are U.S. residents and/or citizens, how much or how little they import from China and elsewhere, who they get their resources from, et cetera.
I don’t see Berkshire Hathaway on that chart. They own too much not to be included.

What idiots. What utter clowns.
‘Can’t see the forest for the trees’ is an understatement.
The consolidation of media companies is patently no problem.
The consolidation of the media’s paymasters IS. These “10 corporations” are the media’s audience. The advertisers that determine what the media will be paid to show.
So their soluton is more regulation to reduce competition and more non-commercial, government-directed, media.
Why are you hyping leftist agitprop and planned ant-American media?
“This is another reason we need an independent news network. One is actually in the works, started by Jeremy Scahill, National Security Correspondent for The Nation magazine, and Glenn Greenwald who broke the NSA spy story. “
So you are hyping ultra leftist anti-American planned “independent” media?
What about Smucker’s? In addition to items with their label they own Jif, Wesson, Pilsbury, Martha White, and several other divisions like this.
