No corporation should be able to own and control the earth’s basic food staples.  Trying to do so screams of anit-trust prosecutions ripe for the bringing.  Pepsi already diverts fresh water supplies for its profit the world over, next they will be asserting exclusive rights to fresh water?  Strong pushbacks are necessary.
