I really don't understand how Nestle can keeping acquiring competitors and
not run afoul of US or international law.  They would be setting prices and
there would be little if any competition.  One of our medical suppliers had
to re-work their market share in the UK.  But I guess in the USA, it is now
OK to be a monopoly.  Where is the outcry about this from WIC and others?
Hope it comes back to bite Nestle.

Nestle also recently acquired Gerber, which owns the vast majority of the
complementary food market in the United States. Should it buy out Mead
Johnson, the corporation will have a very tight grip on North America and
move that much closer to total global dominance of the formula industry.
