      Land of Lakes is a farmer-owned co-op…but from 1989 until 2007, Kraft was owned by Phillip Morris (the tobacco company now known as Altria).

      Marlboro and EasyMac were corporate cousins.

        The tobacco companies saw the decline of tobacco sales and rolled into processed foods with all the addiction research they had already been doing.

        Your image works fine for me. Idk what they’re talking about, these companies are making plenty of profit. (Probably not enough if you ask the shareholders tho)

          The picture is also from 2012 so I don’t know what was bought/sold/merged/divested since then
