Isn't it the lesser of two evils? Kellogs owns Morningstar, Loma Linda, and

Worthington. Boca is owned by Kraft. Then there's Annies and Gardenburger.

Oooh...lest we forget Ives and Smart stuff.....I lose track. Isn't it all

becoming rather incestuous? I mean, who owns Silk? Who owns Whole Soy? It's

nuts. I vote for going with only organic soy products. I'm sure there's a flaw

in my logic though........it's neverending!! Lucy

i've found it's really easy to make up large batches of veggie burgers from

whatever i have in the house and freeze them... all of the premade versions

in our grocery store have some dairy or egg, and none of them specify non GMO

I find it frustrating that if you are so interested in organics and health,

why not take the time (it's worth it!) and make your own products from

scratch'!

I have two grown children in their twenties who were brought up on the real

stuff, they are always healthy and have good eating habits.

There's nothing like 'the real thing'!

It is really tough to keep track of who owns who. Even

those companies that we see as organic and wholesome

are being gobbled up by big companies. Mother Jones

ran an article on this very subject back in Jan 2003.

Here's the link to the article. There is an entire

chart of which vegetarian, organic or environmentally

friendly companies are owned by who. You have to

register to read the complete article but it is free

to register.

Lucy is correct, Morningstar farms is owned by Kellog.

The makers of silk brand soy milk is White Wave which

is owned by Dean Foods (Reiter, Bordon and other

brands); they make dairy products. Silk also has a

relationship with Starbucks coffee. In addition, Silk

soy milk uses non gmo soy beans.

 

In addition, it is interesting to listen to the debate

about school lunches because the dairy industry would

have you believe that they would lose money if soy

milk were served in schools. In actuality, many of

these same companies also own soy milk companies, case

in point, Dean foods.

 

 

Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist world that

continues to allow big companies to swallow up little

companies. In this case, the little companies with a

good social message, such as organic, are compromising

by selling thier companies to larger ones in order to

be able to continue selling their product rather than

completely going out of business. It is so sad.

 

 

 

Peace to all.

It's hard not to get caught in all the corporate entanglements, huh?

 

Re: Boca vs. Morningstar - they are two equal evils. Kellogs uses GMOs, as

does Kraft.

 

White Wave (the tofu company) owns Silk.

WholeSoy is, AFAIK, its own entity.

Gardenburger and (did you mean) Amy's are their own companies.

 

Organic, but current FDA definition, cannot contain GMOs.

 

Morningstar hot dogs are incredibly high in sodium (that's why they taste so

good!).

Taking into account the public's regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent

upon you not to fit in.

I agree - I was raised by a single mom who loved to cook but didn't have the

time - but there were never chips or sweet snacks in the house - if you

wanted french fries or cookies you made them - I ate a bunch of crap as a

teenager but once I moved out it didn't seem natural to have that stuff in

the house - I never thought to buy it in the grocery store - I'm trying to go

a step further with my children -

why not take the time (it's worth it!) and make your own products

from

> scratch'!

 

There's the key word right there - time. I would love to make more

food from scratch and rely less on pre-made, highly proccessed food,

but I (or my husband) dont always have the time. We do as much as we

can, but sometimes you need a fall back.
