Organic Foods: Who makes what?

Vegetarian, Alternative & Green Health, Nutrition & Supplements

When I started buying organic, I perceived two main benefits: I would be doing something good for my body, and I would be supporting smaller companies rather than pouring my money into some soulless mega-corporation. But I should know better by now -- almost everything is somehow linked back to a mega-corporation. Including organics.

Interested in hearing more? Good Magazine recently put together a handy chart that explains which organic foods are part of which megacorp--and there are definitely some familiar names on there. For instance? Kashi, Morningstar Farms and Gardenburger are part of Kellogg's, Rice Dream, Soy Dream and Earth's Best are part of Heinz, and Naked Juice is part of Pepsi.

Any major surprises?
