📣 NEW 📣 Mars Inc. just announced plans to acquire Kellanova, a spin-off of Kellogg’s snack division, in a $36 billion effort to dominate the snack market. This merger would further consolidate our food system – while also increasing food prices and giving consumers fewer choices on grocery store shelves.
