[stars & stripes forever]

[Small companies that have been doing a good job providing healthier food cannot survive if the sources of food are tied up.]

The way to combat this is through education.

Here are some sites I go to for healthy living.

Any others?

Thanks for wellnessmama. Already subscribe to the other two. The merger is perhaps more accurately the merger of two chemical giants.

Thanks for the healthy food sources lists. It's gotten much easier to find real food at competitive prices, and having those companies compiled really helps.

My concern is their sources of food. This food giant could come in and buy up contracts for most of the food that is produced at a slightly higher price, making it unavailable to smaller companies. It'll have undo influence on government regualtions that could make it real hard for small companies to compete.

I don't like this at all. We'd all be better off, as far as health and control of food choices is concerned if Heinz and Kraft were being broken up.
