Great link, thanks!
Maybe I am naive, but I truly am baffled at the sinister spin they put on that. There are economies of scale with consumer staples and it makes sense to me that it would evolve to the structure that we have today, and I do not see the societal danger in it. You don't have to buy that stuff, and there are plenty of niche, healthy options available. More than anything, that info-graphic looks like a compelling investment guide rather than a call to arms against our food manufacturing oppressors.
Now you might have a compelling argument about over consolidated media companies, but I'm not seeing the danger here.
