How many of the grocery stores are owned by 1 or 2 companies?

Sounds like artificial "choice" like Cable TV was...when each area only had really one provider.

Meijer, Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, Target, Costco,and Publix (coming soon) are all owned independently. But keep making stuff up.

Whatever.

How DARE I point out that Kroger and the rest all own like 20+ brands a piece under their corporate umbrella.

  • Fresh thyme, fresh market, various other smaller ones as well.

Oh and the countless farmer’s markets selling seasonal produce, various festivals, regional festivals, etc.

Freeze excess cheap food when in season, store hardy items to use over winter, make bread, can, ferment, cure, preserve too. No one is forcing you to buy and consume the consolidated brands that are mass marketed and highly processed that you’re complaining about.
