Organic or All Natural Companies Who Have Sold Out

Here is the growing list of organic or all natural companies who have sold out to EVIL CORPS for HUGE windfalls in the double to triple digit millions and even some got billions of dollars.

I’m positive that EVERY evil corp changed the formula and started poisoning people.

I’ll put them in order of year.

I never published this on my We Deserve Health site and needed to hand it out to someone and had to hunt for it which took a while, so after years of it sitting there in draft mode, I’m finishing it off. I decided to post it on OFS instead, since it’s clear that the evils do all of this so we do NOT get healthy food options. Every article tries to make it seem that they are doing it just to increase their portfolio because of the recent interest in HEALTHY FOOD. Yeh right.

Wow, I found a lot more evidence and I thought I would get it finished within an hour, but now, I’m probably going on 3 hours and I thought it was almost all done before. I was going to put up images of each company because you may not recognize the names, but I just don’t have time for that. I’m exhausted.

Note: I don’t have time to put quotes around everything I copied from various different sites.

  In 2012 Kashi faced major criticism over what consumers saw as its abuse of the “natural” label. It was also known that Kellogg gave money to defeat California’s mandatory GMO-labeling law, and this was after Kashi promised to remove GMOs from its products.

  Then in April 2019 Earthbound was bought by Taylor Farms. That company sure gets around. Geeze.
9. 2011 – Honest Tea – I guess Coke was buying their shares up and finally got majority in 2011. I’ve never heard of this tea brand. Actually I just looked and I think I’ve seen their logo at some point.
10. 2011 – Coleman Natural and Coleman Organic Foods, the nation’s largest producer of organic chicken with no antibiotics or added hormones, sold to Perdue (no amount anywhere). Perdue has a past with animal welfare.

  The Antitrust Division obtained extensive information from Perdue, Coleman and a wide range of market participants, including interviews of customers, chicken processors and more than 100 chicken growers. After a thorough review of the evidence, the division concluded that the facts did not support challenging the proposed transaction.

  Post Holdings acquired the branded and private label cereals and snacks lines from Hearthside Foods for $158 million. Post is that older brand of cereal such as Honey Bunches of Oats, Pebbles, Great Grains, Grape-Nuts, Honeycomb and Malt-O-Meal.
  
  Contrary to belief, cereal is NOT healthy for us. It’s full of sugar and dyes and grains such as wheat, oats, corn, etc., ALL of which I’m sure are almost 100% toxic GMO.
15. 2014 – Annie’s which isn’t Amy’s Organic just so you know. Annie’s was know for it’s mac and cheese, plus some other products, but they don’t disclose if their milk and cheese is non GMO or the cows are fed non GMO. They were bought out by General Mills in late summer 2014 for $820 million.

  LOL, while researching this, I saw that Tyson (of course) gets a lot of lawsuits, AND guess what the lawsuits are about now…. THE FAKE VIRUS. They didn’t force their employees to wear toxic face diapers, social distance, didn’t put up plexy glass, etc. to protect their fear based employees from a virus that doesn’t harm anyone. Of course they didn’t do all of this because they know it’s all BS since they are an evil corp.
18. August 2014 – Rudi’s Organic Bakery was bought out by Hain Celestial Group, Inc. for $61.3 million.

It’s also gluten-free and of course vegan because it’s dairy-free. They also sell creamers and cultured products. They were bought out by WhiteWave for $195 million.They were founded in 1987 and is based in Springfield, Oregon (near Eugene).
20. 2015 – Niman Ranch began in the early 1970s on an eleven-acre ranch in a small coastal town just north of San Francisco. They produce beef, lamb, and pork.
  
  On their site it says.. “Niman Ranch and its network of U.S. family farmers and ranchers raise livestock humanely and sustainably.”Niman Ranch rose to prominence as a key partner in Chipotle’s “Food with Integrity” supply chain, one that championed progressive animal husbandry practices and fair farmer pay.
  
  In late 2014 and early 2015, the animal rights groups Compassion in World Farming and Mercy for Animals had released videos of alleged abuse on two of the company’s contract chicken farms. The MFA video in particular showed egregious treatment, as a farm employee slammed chickens into the ground and stomped and kicked them. For a company like Niman Ranch, whose tagline is “Raised with Care,” the contrast could not have been starker.
21. May 2015 – Blake’s All Natural Foods was bought out by ConAgra (they won’t disclose the amount.) They were founded in 1929, located in Concord, New Hampshire, and produce frozen meals that are all natural and organic.

  In August 2015 he sold out to Flower Foods (owned by Atlanta Corp) for $275 million.
  
  They are responsible for the low-end junk GMO bread brands Wonderbread and Sunbeam. People can already tell the difference in quality.
  
  Flowers is also number 37 on the list of being responsible in PREVENTING GMO labeling. Something that EVERY person who cares about REAL food has been fighting for for decades.
  
  They paid out $250,000 to stop labeling in Colorado.
23. September 2015 – Then evil Flower Foods bought out the Alpine Valley Organic Bread Company based in Mesa, Arizona.

26. May 2016 – Silk almond milk sold out to WhiteWave, a sister company of Dean Foods that is notorious for GMO products.
  
  They even switched the soybeans to GMO and didn’t even tell their customers.
27. 2016 – American Horizon started off in 1991 selling organic milk and by 1994 was selling nationally. Then they added organic cheese.
  
  There have been many complaints that they are just a factory type farm.
  
  They also owned these company names – Juniper Valley Farms, The Organic Cow of Vermont, and the United Kingdom brand Rachel’s Organic.
  
  Dean Foods bought them out in 2004 and in 2006, the Organic Consumers Association organized a boycott of Horizon Organic and Aurora Organic Dairy. They said they weren’t following organic practices. A huge health food chain stopped carrying their products and they were accused of monopolizing the organic milk industry (no shit.)
  
  In 2013, WhiteWave Foods (owner of the Horizon brand and also took over other companies – see above) became an independent company from Dean Foods.
  
  In July 2016 that French company Danone who bought out Stonyfield, started the purchase of WhiteWave Foods for $10.4 billion and everything was finalized in April 2017. It then became DanoneWave.
28. R.W. Knudson’s was started in 1961 creating organic fruit and vegetable juices and Spritzers. They are owned by Smucker’s which publicly supports the use of GMOs and I couldn’t even find a date when that happened – WOW. Now they are being sold off to Nexus Capital Management LP.
29. John Battendieri was the founder of Santa Cruz Organic until J.M. Smucker bought him out and it also doesn’t say what year that was. WOW. His bio on Wikipedia is huge with organic this and that and yet, here we are. I used to buy that juice. sigh

You can see how slowly over the course of 5-10 years, the evils have bought out every single well known organic company so they can poison us!!!
