🚨 Candy giant Mars has received U.S. antitrust approval to acquire Pringles maker Kellanova. Allowing this merger to proceed unchallenged sends a clear message: Corporate power still trumps public interest, even in our food system. ⬇️ This merger is bad news across the board:

I'm a 58-year-old retired roofer from Zanesville, OH who has no relationship with his children and has been banned from 4 separate Chili's locations for berating staff, and I have deep concerns about the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, a place I have never been.
