A few multi-national corportations have a great deal of control over
the U.S. food supply. Although facts and figures are often a "grey"
area, I wonder what SANET people know...
Does anyone have the figures at hand? I would like to include
current data in my undergrad "environmental planning and management"
lectures next week. For example, I've heard that 80% of the U.S.
food supply is controlled by 5 companies. Any support for this
statement or other, similar statements?
Thanks, Leslie
