Against the Big Food Merger

Claire Kelloway, Manager, Food Systems Program, Open Markets Institute     As is true with the fish swimming in the sea, big companies grow bigger by eating smaller companies.  That being the case, we simply must ask:  Should Kroger be allowed to eat Albertsons? The Food Chain Radio Show & Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Claire Kelloway, Manager, Food Systems Program, Open Markets, for a conversation about the consolidation of the nation’s grocery stores. Topics include why Kroger and Albertsons believe they must merge to survive; why some believe that a merger of the supermarket chain giants is unfair; and whether the competition between businesses for the consumers’ dollars can be managed fairly by the government.
