Do You Know Who Owns Your Organic Food?

Organic Brands and the Companies That Own ThemWhile aquisitions like Burt’s Bees to Clorox make us cringe and make huge headlines, some of your favorite organic and natural brands could have been bought up before you were paying attention or right beneath your nose. One of my favorite magazines, GOOD, put together one of their well known infographs on the ownership of organic brands.

For example, one of my favorite cereals, Bear Naked (we’re not sponsored by them, promise, it’s just a coincidence) is owned by Kellog and Odwalla, the juice company that makes some amazing combinations, is owned by Coca-Cola.

As shocking as it seems, I suppose it’s not all that surprising. So, will you continue to buy these products knowing full well your money is going to big corporations?
