This is damn near everything on the market when you consider how much Pepsico and Anheisure Bush own as well.

there's a thread here at least once a month about the big corporations and the companies they own, if I was to abstain based on who owned what I'd be hungry, naked, and probably freezing my butt off!

Add Tyson Foods to that, and there's nothing left.

Yep, and what is left is owned by the Chinese.

Quoted for truth.
Because of the "food" now available in the grocery stores, I have rearranged my diet primarily in the area of what I eat and how often I eat, while beefing up nutrient intake with third party tested supplemental powders, superfood powders & products, and high quality vitamins.
Without ever intending to, I have decreased my intake of actual meals to 2 per day with almost no snacking in between and I am rarely hungry, because what I do ingest is packed full of nutrition, vitamins, minerals and nutrients. This is not a bleak "deny myself" austerity/stark/spartan plan - I eat things that appeal to me, and have found tasty new "real" foods to add my supplements to.
I lost about 10 pounds initially, and am close to what I weighed in high school, though this was never my goal. Real food was intended to be our medicine, and I haven't felt this good in years, thanks to Monsanto and their ilk driving me back to real, pure foods. I've always been a bit of a gym rat, and that is where the proof in the pudding is most obvious.
As I mention off and on, Azure Standard is your friend, in spades. Thousands of wholesome products that are hormone, antibiotic and glyphosate free, shipped as you order to the drop spot nearest you, or the spot of your choosing.
Thanks for the thread nomifyle, I haven't seen that list in quite awhile.

Digestively speaking last summer was the best I've felt in a long time all because I chose to buy a CSA share. The veggies were so good, and kept forever in the fridge, or on the shelf! I still have squash, beets, and diakon radish left from last September to use up. So, we bought another CSA share this year. She calls her food near organic, while they practice organic methods, last year some idiot crop duster got most of her tomatoes and half of the vineyard, like 20 acres of grape vines, where they lease their farmland. And because of that she cannot claim organic status.

Support a local farmer! Food is still better than supplements, powders and vitamin. We really can't improve on Mother Nature.

The items on that list are not real food. They are food like products. They are things that have been hugely promoted and people learned to love them.
Personally there are only a few of the listed items that are in my pantry. We eat them but not constantly, maybe once a month if then. Like Jiffy, when I was raising my family I would never have used that product, my cornbread was truly from scratch, with natural foods. I could buy my ingredients from a natural foods store in New Orleans. Sadly they eventually sold to a big conglomerate that is now owned by Amazon. As for cornbread, we are not big bread eaters and I only make cornbread every few months or so. We are old and I'm tired so making the cornbread that I made for years will likely never happen.
Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 cups stone ground Elam yellow corn meal
1/2 cup Elam unbleached flour
1/4 cup Elam wheat germ
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs
I'm not even sure you can find Elam products anymore. The cook book is from 1979.
Eventually I gave in and bought the corn meal and flour from the grocery store, still better than Jiffy, but not as healthy.
I looked up Elam products and my computer laughed at me. Could probably get something like that from Azure.

I look at it this way. We do the best we can, and trust God with the rest.

I don't know any farmers around here that don't use chemical and sprays. Unless you special order you won't get the food mother nature meant for us to have. This is America, they are poisoning us on purpose.

There are gobs of small farmers in my area that are organic or near organic, working on their organic status which can take decades. The fresh fruits and veggies are off the chain delicious, as is the homegrown beef, pork, and chicken. Lots of veggie stands where one can buy fresh eggs as well as baked goods.

If this only applied to veggies, meat, and dairy, most of us could find alternatives. That list includes everything. A farmer can't work miracles. I don't know any farmers around here that I would trust with our food, either.
What exactly is this a list of? Do you have a link to original source and context for this list?
Monsanto hasn’t existed since June of 2018.
Monsanto didn’t ever “own” most, if any, of these “brands”…or are these brands that were known to make use of Monsanto products?
Just trying to understand the point of this list.

Monsanto "used" to own a bunch of small seed companies ranging from Bojack to Pioneer, and the company I used to work for. They were bought out by an even larger corporation.

I think all store brands are made from the same big corporations.

Yes, Bayer merged with Monsanto, and removed Monsanto's name for re-branding purposes. It still doesn't change the fact that the nation's largest weed killer company was meddling in food companies. This list was just to show, which companies did business with Monsanto and or were owned by them prior to the merger. Some of these companies are still owned by Monsanto's subsidiaries.

Just taking Procter and Gamble from the Monsanto list. Do you know how many products are made just by Procter and Gamble? We tried to boycott just them alone, and it was nearly impossible.

Good luck with your boycott. Bayer Corp employs 100,00 people and owns 340 companies including Bayer Crop Science The Crop Science division is a world-leading agriculture enterprise with businesses in seeds, crop protection and non-agricultural pest control.
The Consumer Health division markets mainly nonprescription (OTC = over-the-counter) products in the dermatology, nutritional supplement, analgesic, digestive health, cold, allergy, sinus and flu categories. (Aleve, PeptoBismal, Claritin and many more.)
The Pharmaceuticals division focuses on prescription products, especially for cardiology and women’s healthcare, and on specialty therapeutics in the areas of oncology, hematology and ophthalmology. The division also comprises the radiology business, which markets diagnostic imaging equipment together with the necessary contrast agents.

I’m not boycotting, there are a few things on that list that I’ll keep using, although it’s not many and not all the time.

I agree, yes they are poisoning us on purpose but they've been doing it for the past 50 years. We are only now painfully aware of it. Do an internet search for regenerative farmer, organic farmer and CSA. No matter where you are there are still good farmers growing the right way.
If not, grow your own. Look at Hydroponics grow towers - no bending, no dirt, no heavy lifting, no land needed.

I believe your list is inaccurate. Monsanto doesn't own P&G, Kraft, Heinz, Coca-Cola and many of the others listed.
