I see plenty of choices when I look at that. I have never really cared about corportate ideologies when buying food or cleaning products.

Very impressive graphic. I do what I can to buy small brands... and then sometimes see that they have bought up by a behemoth... Customer awareness is very important! Same here, I try to buy local produce. When I was kid we had lots of butchers and bakers etc, now its greggs etc its quite a shame really.

I noticed that my favourite cheese has changed the brand 3 times within the last 2 years or so.

R\Kraft took over Cadbury's a few years back and the quality of Cadbury's products has gone down hill ever since. A Dairy Milk bar in the US is now almost indistinguisable from one in the UK ( the UK ones used to contain a lot less sugar and much more chocolate) ....which in turn is almost indistinguihable from the Allan's "chocolate" that is used in cheap easter eggs.
Now this SUCKS. British chocolate rules. Flake is the best ever. It's not so darn SWEET and it's just better than the processed sugar over here that passes for chocolate. Miao, Cat
