“Are restaurants starting to taste the same?”

Multi-state investigation finds a Big Food distributor has been on an “acquisition spree” and has become one of the largest companies in food service

“The company ruining the restaurant industry”

“This consolidation means higher prices for mass-produced food made under grueling conditions”

“I've had a sense that lots of restaurants are stirring to taste the same, and maybe you too have had a sense that something is amiss”

Investigation ordered the exact same items from different chains in different states all over the United States, the result was the exact same items

“9 different wholesale restaurant distributors” merged together with the explicit goal of making a national player

The company has grown so much that it really only has 2 other competitors in the national space and now suppliant premade food and ingredients for 35% of the entire market in America

They “have been accused of engaging in slave labor, that includes forced Uighur and North Korean labor in China. Basically any dark part of the food system has moved offshore, which makes policing it really, really hard to do.”

The company is “lobbying year after year to deregulate the trucking industry, and what we've seen since the 1980s is trucking wages are down nearly 40%.”

Local farmers and ingredients are completely cut out, they skyrocket prices, “Something is being lost. Regional variety, local jobs, local businesses, and just having a unique meal. A meal that's different.”

It’s all the same because America is letting mega corporations become monopolies and drive everyone else out of business

For us burned out millennials, our mid-life crisis won't be sports cars and affairs.

Did anyone else have a brief moment where all their @FedLoanAid loans were in limbo and they thought, for just a moment, they might get lost in the transition and be absorbed into the ether? Or was that just as unrealistic as me thinking I could pay them off with an art degree?
