Yes I read all that on Wikipedia. What’s lacking is an explanation of how you’re equating the crimes of one company with capitalism as a whole, in order to justify taking away the right of farmers to personally own their farms and equipment and sell their produce at the side of the road.
Other companies related to food with a similar “behaviour”:
Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Unilever, Kraft Heinz, General Mills, Mars, Inc., Danone, Mondelez International, Tyson Foods, Conagra Brands
It is not a single company, it’s a system that provides an environment which enables exploitative behaviour. It’s capitalism.
That’s a regulatory environment which gives rise to these companies, not a specific feature of capitalism. Government interference, crony capitalism, regulatory capture; whatever you want to call it. You see similar sorts of corruption in other systems: feudalism, mercantilism, communism.
It’s the problem of elites. No one has ever found a solution to it.
