This is total BS. No wonder you embrace the nonsense you do. If you would spend more time reading about the subject from legitimate sources, you wouldn't end up embarrassing yourself here so often.
The food industry remains a large and highly fragmented industry. It is also one that produces a large number of new businesses every year and provides low barriers to entry for aspiring entrepreneurs. However, your beloved big government is doing all they can to change that. If an industry becomes less competitive, and more of an oligopoly or monopoly, it is because government made it happen.
If you had any experience in the food industry you would know that the relationship with government is, for the most part, highly adversarial. But you have absolutely no experience with it,even though you're posing as someone who does, so you remain clueless.
The same goes for the illiterates who think big pharma and the government are in bed together to do whatever evil it is that they do. And as proof of that collusion, they offer up the fact that it takes, on average, 13 years and $800 million dollars to bring a new drug to market thanks to government regulation. With friends like that..... Even in light of this glaring inconsistency, most don't grasp the sheer stupidity of their wild assed conspiracy theories.
If the small companies get too difficult the big companies push through things like pushing through new regulations
The regulations holding down the little guy have gotten so bad, in fact, that organic is only a $29 billion dollar industry today. Bastards! If only the food industry was more competitive and open to new ideas a company like Whole Foods could have had a chance. Too bad they never got off the ground. Damn those monopolies!
Remember the good old days in the 1950's and 60's when there were so many more food choices in retail and restaurants than there are today. Great times.
I am so glad the '60s are over.
