You wouldn’t download a milk, would you?
I met this dude at a house party like 15 years ago. I had no idea who he was, and had a normal conversation with him with small talk like ‘what do you do for a living,’ etc.
Apparently he didn’t like that I didn’t know who he was, and complained to the host (a mutual friend). lol fucking clown.
15 years, huh. So about 7 of his videos ago.
(That’s a jab at JonTrons horrible upload schedule)
Who is the dude? I still do not know.
I had to look it up when I got home the next day…
It’s JonTron, a YouTube video game pseudo-celebrity that got into some trouble for being a piece of shit, and disappeared a few years back.
It’s JonTron
a nobody.
Why does Coca Cola own a milk company? To combat Pilk with Cilk?
Mars (as in the candy company) is the largest veterinary company in the world.
Because corporations need to own everything. Global food trade is split up almost entirely by ten corporations: https://ourfuture.org/20170105/oxfam-ten-multinational-corporations-control-most-food-brands
Have fun trying to find food items in a supermarket that ar not in any way related to any of these.
Have successfully eliminated Nestle and cocoa related products from my life. I know its not even close to nano impact but its the least I can do 😅
Every dollar not going to nestle helps.
If only that graphic could be opened, zoomed in, to actually see the various brands…
I mostly see this chart focused on ultra processed foods, so the base ingredients are mostly safe?
Also as a filthy Scandinavian, Orkla Group does have quite a lot available in the ultra processed category
I guess it depends on your supermarkets where they get their produce from, but I wouldn’t rule out even local farms somehow being owned through subsidiaries by these corporations.
Because subsidiaries.
These big corporations can leverage those subsidies very easily too. It’s be perfect, if they didn’t have to increase profits on fixed margins
In 2013, I messaged Coca-Cola on Facebook and asked them if Dasani was run off water from their soda factories. They blocked me.
Industrialized dairy farms are highly automated and feature a ton of networked computer equipment to facilitate that.
This isn’t some situation where a farmer rolls up to a cow with a bucket and a stool like the 1800s.
Huge reason to go vegan btw
Is this how I learn Coca-Cola owns Fairlife? I never knew. Now I have to find a new brand of filtered milk.
Fairlife also has a history of animal abuse controversies. Their name is a complete lie and I always recommend people to other brands if they care about animal cruelty in the slightest.
Branded milk is a wild concept
Do you just have blank containers with “MILK” printed on them and nothing else? Cuz literally every package of milk I’ve ever had was branded in some way, even if it’s just the local dairy’s brand.
Just the supermarket name, fat percentage, and a picture of a cow is pretty typical here
coke milk.
It’s the norm in Europe, and it makes absolute sense. Milk quality can vary wildly, so brands provide a way to identify a certain set of qualities.

Some farms are conventional, some are organic, some let’s their cows move more freely than others, some use more antibiotics others less, etc
So no, milk is not just milk. Animal welfare as well as animal intake are big parts for why certain brands can take a steeper price than others
The only places I’ve ever witnessed unbranded milk, are in very rural locations at which you pick it up at the literal farm that produced the milk and that’s a brand in itself
Definitely the norm in Germany
Pretty normal in Lithuania
Where in the bumfuck do you live? All the milk in normal parts of the U.S. are branded.
We are not required to live in the U.S.A. to comment here.
My milk has the name for the store I buy it at. I think that’s probably what they’re referring to, just store brand milk versus, apparently, MilkaCola. CocaMilka.
Interesting. In New England at least, most of the milk/dairy products are either Hood or Garelick, which are not stores, and the only store brand I can think of is Cumberland Farms - and they started as a dairy farm that went on to open a chain of convenience stores.
Yeah, I’m from Jersey. And Cumberland Farms, I remember having one by us when I was a kid, but they all went away.
I prefer oat milk
It is better.
In what way? Except for better shelf life, lower price (where i live at least), pretty good taste, easy to make at home, and it working perfectly fine as milk substitute in all dishes i’ve tried thus far, and no animals having to be exploited for its production
Besides those things how is it better?
Were the cows identities stolen?
God damn it. Why couldn’t they fuck up Nestle’s production instead?
If Nestlé had a security breach that compromised production they wouldn’t stop the production. They’d just silently keep making compromised product and sort of fix it on the fly.
It’s questionable whatever they would even fix it at all and just keep producing the compromised product and lobby some politician to remove some regulations.
Fixed that for you
It’s questionable whatever they would even fix it at all and just keep producing the compromised product and
lobbybribe some politician to remove some regulations.Wait a minute, those aren’t synonyms?
Not in America, in America a bribe is when a politician puts down in writing that they voted a certain way because someone gave them money for that specifically, anything else is just normal, according to the supreme court anyway.
Germany has copied this. It’s the same here now. If a politician doesn’t agree in writing that he was paid to vote for or against a certain law, it is not corruption.
Means, they would just sent it to Asia or Africa - again
Why not both?
So, if there is a power outage, do their cows just explode?
I don’t think you really want to know this.

Did you know milk can be spoiled in certain conditions? ;)
First question: why are you using a racist and “great replacement” conspiracy theorist in your meme
Me? I just repost from reddit. But seriously what racist theories?
“Theorist”. Jon Tron is a person with shitty opinions.
Although policing oneself to make sure that everyone in the memes one shares is squeaky clean and shares the group’s opinion on all subjects is very strange behavior when the content doesn’t also feature that opinion.
Right? TIL that everyone who’s ever shared this image supports fascism:
Yep, including you now! Congratulations on your newfound political views.
It’s really funny that vance started ozempic because Trump kept calling him fat because of this image
Fact Check: TRUE ✅
Jontron’s gone on the record supporting the legitimacy of white genocide, has stated that incarceration of blacks being higher in the US due to blacks being more criminal as a group, and several other batshit crazy things.
The guy was a genuinely funny content creator, he essentially destroyed his career with his politics.
Back then: “wow there just must’ve been a falling-out, man, they were such good friends, I hope it’s nothing to do with Suzie, man, oh darn.”
Now: “Maaaaaaaan, Aaron, thank fuck you got that idiot out of your house.”
I thought this was lost! I’m so happy this video still exists.
Reading the comments on this really makes me appreciate Lemmy commenters.
Lmao never seen this, perfect
I have one, three letter question.
Ded?
Why
Capitalism. Line must always go up, and the only way to do that for most large companies is to gobble up all kinds of other companies to steal their assets and burn their liabilities. That’s why most of the grocery store choices funnel back to like a dozen multinational food companies. Like, look at this shit:
Roadmap to diabeetus.
All praise the 10 great goods who bring bountiful food and treats!
