Would be good to know who owns (which families – first and last names please) these companies?
How much market share each owns and profits from?
Could then work out how much harm is being caused generally in society and how much this is costing Governments of the world
Now if sugar were to be properly labeled as an addictive poison then maybe we (class action law suit) as the people affected by these non foods could make better choices.

Funny, but I don’t see anything that’s real food among those brands.

I like Twinings tea and I occasionally buy bottled water at the airport, but I would not touch anything else from these companies.
