Ep. 67 - The Great Consolidation

The brands you trust don't stay the brands you trust. We're looking at what happens after the acquisition: Siete, Cholula, RX Bar, Primal Kitchen, Justin's, and the slow, quiet ingredient drift that follows. McCormick has a darker history than most people know, and Nestle's floating Amazon supermarket is genuinely one of the stranger corporate moves we've come across.We also get into why this isn't just a food story. Healthcare, vet care, small farms: the consolidation is everywhere and the illusion of choice is real.So what do you actually do with that? Read labels, support small brands, stay curious at the grocery store. The harder question is whether any of it is enough when the margins keep shrinking and the money keeps winning.Contact Daniel and Janie:Email: [email protected]: achievethelifestyle.comInstagram: @achievethelifestyleContact Daniel and Janie:Email: [email protected]: achievethelifestyle.comInstagram: @achievethelifestyle
