“significant synergy opportunities.”

One of the most vapid sayings in business.

Let hope they decide to quit poisoning the world with sugar and artificial sweeteners in the name of healthy foods.

Thousands Of Layoffs Coming After Buffett Merges Heinz With Kraft, 5th Largest Food Company

Wrong!!! it should read, "Thousands of Opportunities at Funemployment Coming After Buffett Merges Heinz With Kraft.."..there..fixed it obama style..

Will this giant with its global reach control the supply of food, thus squeezing competing companies out of business? Small companies that have been doing a good job providing healthier food cannot survive if the sources of food are tied up. Will this corporate monster have enough control to put an end to natural products that avoid GMOs?

Aren't there still laws against mergers that threaten competition? This could be real bad news.

I doubt that there will be an synergy. Both companies are so large that synergy would be minimal or non-existent.

Just more concentration of production facilities.

One of the biggest hypocrites going is Warren Buffett....he profits off of capitalism while supporting anti capitalists!!!

I look forward to the future food monopoly’s new line of Soylent products. Reducing thousands of competing products to just Soylent Red and Soylent Green will make confusing buying decisions so much simpler.
