A nice added feature would be to tag those companies that are suing against the birth control provision of the ACA, or that have other right-wing policies.

If anyone has that data I might try to pull together a graphic. Altho it could take me a while, graphics isn't my strong suit. But I'd like to see that chart enough to give it a try.

Because probably less than 20% of my grocery bill goes to the big "consumer" brands shown in that chart; although I know that some of the brands in the health food store (e.g., Kashi) have been bought out by big conglomerates. I thought Kashi was owned by Kellogg's or General Mills now but don't see it on that chart.
