You've really touched on a thorny subject. But that's right, big groups have their own interests in many sectors and this makes them powerful and capable of manipulating the political choices of countries. On food, for example, no government is able to make a law on junky food and yet we know very well that they are the major cause of obesity among the population, especially in industrialized countries. And the information? In Italy in my country there would be a law against the conflict of interest, to avoid the concentration of newspapers in the hands of the same people, yet a trick is always found by referring to relatives and friends companies and which in the end belong to the same group.
Will we ever get out? I'm not confident. Thank you for this very interesting food for thought.
