Mars owns Seeds of Change, and also tests on animals (check out www.marscandykills.com). That's just one thing I've noted real quick.
For something more pleasing to look at, independent brands are shown in a chart, here: http://www.certifiedorganic.bc.ca/rcbtoa/services/corporate-independent-brands.html
Unfortunately, EVERYTHING is owned by evil dudes. I didn't know that pepsi owned naked juice, though. Thanks for posting.
Not EVERYTHING...they'll never take away my intergalactic apple tree! It would be nice if the image showed up a little more legibly so people didn't have to click through...

This very much made me laugh good sir.
I know more die-hards have been pushing for local sustainability.
