Governments should work hard to stop large corporate takeovers of critical commodities such as the food industry. When large corporations eat into the supply chain (pun intended) they will be able to take control of the market and command the prices that they wish. The food industry used to be quite diverse, where individuals produced the food (family farms) and sold it to distributors or quite often directly to retailers. There was plenty of competition so therefore the prices that consumers paid were forced to be the lowest prices possible. When an industry becomes controlled by on or only a few corporations then, of course those corporations will work in their own best interests of the shareholders and upper management, and increase profits. The consumer will be held hostage as they have to eat. A thousand small distributors is a much better solution for the food market.
