Tom... what I posted were quick snippets from the companies websites. Sorry that you seem incapable of googling on your own..

may I suggest that you use the magic of the internet to find out just what parent company controls your local brands. Beyond that, who is supplying the seed that your food is made from? Or amendments.

A century ago, England imported guano from Chile to fertilize the soil. We now have inorganic "fertilizers"... where do they come from? Who controls them? The issue is much larger than brand names...
