Seeds of change - Start of Investigation

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sheila

I appreciate the help on this. Now we're starting to get some where.

But even though they may not be a public company

(traded on the Stock Market), in a Family Owned business (LLC, S-Corp,

etc.) there are still shareholders. This is what we need to find out.

Who are the shareholders of this company????? Is it ALL Family

Owned???? orrrrrrr is there an invisible rotten Apple in the barrel

who just happens to pull the strings from the background??????

Love,

Doc

Today Mars is a $18bn business operating in

over 65 countries. Perhaps more surprisingly, and unusual for a

business of our size, we are still privately owned - making us one of

the largest 'small family businesses' in the world.

Just to add to this. When I did my original

investigation of SOY Protein Powder mentioned in my "Frankenfood"

article in the Files, I managed to discover that Protein Tech was a

subsidiary of Dupont and that infamous International Banking Family.

 

I just received a note from a list member that stated that the Mars

family is very private and doesn't do interviews. I'd like to find out

exactly what their connections are rather than stating what we don't

know. If we could call up the company and find out if they are owned

by another, this would be a big help.

 

Love,

I just called Seeds of Change and spoke with Helena the gal who

answered

the phone.

 

I asked her "Who owns Seeds of Change?"

 

She told me they are owned by Mars Incorporated.

 

I then told her that there was a rumor going around that they had been

bought out by Monsanto.

 

Her response was that Seeds of Change is against GMO and that they have

 

a VISION and are happy with the lifestyle they have.

She said they have a very good working relationship and are happy

working with Mars.

Helena added that 80 to 90 % of the seed companies are owned by

Monsanto.

She also commented that I might know Mars better as the chocolate

industry and manufactures of Uncle Ben's.

I thanked her for the information and then pulled up Mars Incorporated

which is a very large - international company.

 

If someone out there would please see what you can come up with on who

owns Mars Incorporated, I'd appreciate it.

Maybe we can save Doc some time. I'm sure he will dive into this when

he has time but if we can take this off his plate,

all the better.

 

Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom,
