Why does Coca Cola own a milk company? To combat Pilk with Cilk?

Because corporations need to own everything. Global food trade is split up almost entirely by ten corporations: https://ourfuture.org/20170105/oxfam-ten-multinational-corporations-control-most-food-brands

Have fun trying to find food items in a supermarket that ar not in any way related to any of these.

Have successfully eliminated Nestle and cocoa related products from my life. I know its not even close to nano impact but its the least I can do 😅

I mostly see this chart focused on ultra processed foods, so the base ingredients are mostly safe?

Also as a filthy Scandinavian, Orkla Group does have quite a lot available in the ultra processed category

I guess it depends on your supermarkets where they get their produce from, but I wouldn't rule out even local farms somehow being owned through subsidiaries by these corporations.
