Episode 94: Who Really Owns Your Health Foods - Simple Mills, Siete, PepsiCo, Nestle
from Wholistic Living · host Marla Pietruszko
Your favorite “clean” health foods might not be as independent as you think. In this episode of Wholistic Living, we uncover how brands like Simple Mills, Siete, Vital Proteins, RXBAR, Poppi, and Garden of Life—once founded on mission and integrity—were bought out by corporate giants like Nestlé, Kellogg’s, and Ferrero. We’ll explore why this wave of acquisitions is happening, what it means for ingredients, accessibility, and prices, and whether consolidation in the food industry is ultimately good or bad for consumers. From protein bars to gut health sodas to even your morning cereal, the same few corporations are quietly taking control of our food system. Tune in to learn how to spot when “clean branding” is really just marketing, why ingredient changes can happen after a buyout, and how to keep your health in your own hands by making conscious choices.Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to [email protected]: @wholistichomeopath
