In reply to the discussion: My email to Land O'Lakes today. [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,489 posts)48. Thank you, Professor.
One reason I asked for feedback is because I would like to start doing that with more companies, so I need to develop a style. If we as consumers don't start rattling more corporate cages, they will continue to walk all over us, particularly considering the mergers during and after Reagan's days.
For example, as another poster mentioned, Land O'Lakes is now a part of Dean Foods, with $7.7 billion in revenue (2016). So, that makes it much harder to make a dent in their sales and get any attention.
Mass consumerism under huge international corporations and the monitization of everything is one of humanity's largest elephants in our room, IMO....
