The salt on your table, the turkey in your sandwich, the egg in your Egg McMuffin: “the worst company in the world” makes money off all of them.
You may not have heard of them, but Cargill Inc is the biggest privately owned company in America, and they have near complete control over how and what you eat, and how working people in the agricultural system are treated.
Their power and breadth has kept wages down, squashed worker power, and pushed family farms to the brink of non-existence, while manipulating prices for the consumer.
And it’s made one family-the Cargills-very, very rich.
We worked with Second Thought to show you how exactly they amassed all that wealth, and what it means for you.

I work maintenance for cargill for the last 6 years. Worked every holiday, came in when called in the middle of the night, worked 60 hrs a week and they decided to outsource maintenance to another company. So I am getting the boot. They claim to be a family oriented company, but that is not true. They underpay everyone at the mill I work at and expect everyone to work like slaves. It’s really sad.

I worked for Cargill for 12 years and for those of you who “aren’t going to buy their products” then you better start growing your own food and raising your own meat. Cargill may not have their logo or whatever on the label but be assured they touch everything at least once before it hits the store. They don’t have to own the company that produces/manufactures the product, the processing plant or mill but they’ve had it in their possession at least once. They own 85% of the company because in the late 90’s they sold shares to their employees because they needed cash. All of their “worth” was in equity holdings but they needed cash flow. Yes I agree they are monopolizing the industry and they need to be stopped but the government has to step in and we all know that’s not going to happen.

Investigators for the Times found that Cargill hamburger patties tainted with E. coli had been sold at Sam’s Club labeled “American Chef ’s Selection Angus Beef Patties.” According to the Times, the hamburgers, whose ingredients were listed solely as “beef,” “were made from a mix of slaughterhouse trimmings and a mash-like product derived from scraps that were ground together at a plant in Wisconsin. The ingredients came from slaughterhouses in Nebraska, Texas and Uruguay, and from a South Dakota company that processes fatty trimmings and treats them with ammonia to kill bacteria.”47 Using a combination of sources rather than whole cuts of meat saves Cargill about 25 percent in costs, but the lowgrade ingredients are cut from areas of the cow that are more likely to have had contact with feces, which carries E. coli.

Not how it works! Of course they make a profit! When value of currency buys less they charge more to keep in pace or ahead of pace of inflation! Not their fault that those in charge have not put breaks on and paid on interest and dividend to prevent or control! When barack stepped in office…. Didnt matter it was barack but the debt was $10 trillion. Interest on $10 trillion??? $3 billion a day!!!! We needed to cut from the budget $3 billion a day to keep debt at $10 trillion! Didn’t happen! As s matter of fact in 8 years it was just shy of doubling to $20 trillion! Under trump it went sideways staying at statis quo! Not increasing until covid then this in 3rd year and another $10 trillon thanks to free taxpayer subsidized everything (virtually) dont work get paid for many!

Anybody who is or knows a farmer will tell you the crap they pull to force them into contracts with the fertilizers, the grow, and the equipment. Why do you think they went after the Amish Farmer in Pennsylvania and shut him down? Most of the food you see is distributed by maybe over a dozen companies under a wide array of labels. Then they charge you more for "organic" even though it's supposedly less processed and/or not treated. Read the labels on the products, we now have Bioengineered ingredients in certain items. When you look at the supermarkets, there's really only a handful of them owned by the same conglomerates under different names. All the ones he just showed are just the largest ones.

@@pluribus_unum monoculture crops go as far back as humans have developed villages and cities. Monoculture agriculture works. It has always worked. I define monoculture as growing the same crop within a given space. Cabbage in one space. Potatoes in one space. Carrots in one space. Tomatoes in one space. These crops of course get rotated on a yearly basis in the garden to a different area. I use a garden as an easy to understand example. Wheat, rye, barley, all for ease of harvesting are monocultured. But in a good system will be rotated on a cropping season to a different piece of ground. The problem I have with the word monoculture is most people see a big field of wheat or beans or potatoes or what ever and believe that is some bad monoculture crop. Esp if it is organically grown it is most likely rotated to a different crop for the next growing season. If you want to talk about bad growing practices then talk about bad growing practices. But don't just call it monoculture. Your professor needs to explain what Europeans from even the 1300's were using for a culture? 10 acres of wheat here and 15 acres of barley there. Makes each crop a monoculture in my book. Want to know if some one is monoculture or not look at how the majority of their crops are planted. If indeed they are truly eating off it, or selling off of it; it doesn't matter most of their crops will be monocultured.

Any food that contains corn syrup is a Cargill product. I live a few miles from one of their larger corn syrup facilities. Around the plant one will find half a dozen connected cottage industries that are all owned by Asian companies.

To think there was a time I wanted to work for them. Oh sure, I was desperate for a job at the time, and my attempts then went nowhere, but to think I wanted to be a part of their exploited workforce...[shudder]. Throw in the fact that this was AFTER having worked two years at Amazon, and I look particularly stupid, making me even more grateful that I ultimately never worked for them. Now let's get to breaking them and the other cartels up.

That's the really hard part. Education is the key, but that key is held by the very people whose interests would be hurt. I think maybe the first step is to understand that government is the only force that can stop these parasites. Government is terrible, but used to be better, and it can be changed, while capitalism cannot.

Break them up into a billion pieces at the most. Meaning everybody start growing food and outlaw sardine cans, i.e., apartment complexes, etc. Or take those apartment complexes and make them for old folks homes they don't have as far to go to visit their neighbor. But remove most of them. But you know what this will take a lot of thinking and planning so that there's no monopolies and that we the people control every aspect of the government we decide to have above us to protect us from foreign and domestic illegitimate control, i.e., big Corp, big Banks, big pharma, big military industrial complexes, etc that fits into that category. I thought the Constitution said that the government that we established will print the money and then spend it into the economy. But I guess at some point in the history of this nation money mongers stepped in and took over just like they did in England London and I suppose around the world too since he sent his sons around the world to control the money which was gold and silver then and it wasn't fiat currency that many of us are born into using without thinking that it's not real but just debt notes in our hands. Let's bring it back into the old days where all the kids are brought up on farms or ranches. Now wouldn't that be exciting to learn responsibility by taking care of farms or animals on ranches. Oh yeah there should be a cow or go on every piece of land that mankind owns and not big Corp using our places we live as if they're just products to flip over and over again along with the money mongers reducing the worst of our wages we earn which makes me think we're just a bunch of sheep and goats going bahhaahhh.

I think about this every time rich people complain about the stock market taking a dip, or cite the stock market performance as proof of a healthy or unhealthy economy. Could you imagine being so entitled that you expect a constantly increasing sum of money to automatically flow into your account via no effort of your own but just from the labor of other people, consistently, for the rest of your life? The rich are literally that entitled but tell us that we, the laborers, are lazy leeches. Ugh, just eat the rich already.

These practices do not need to be "regulated"; this is just cover for doing nothing. The company is too big, break it up. In the 1980's they broke up the only telephone company in the country, why can't we break up Cargill.

@@grandmav Every year our elected officials get 10s of thousands of dollars from the tax payers, and MILLIONS of dollars from large corporations. Maybe that has something to do with it? It will take a huge effort to overcome all that money, or we could come up with some kind of uber for farmers, so they could sell their products directly to the retail store.

To sell meat to the public you must have an on site USDA inspector, these inspectors are notoriously hard to get. If the government would simply provide more inspectors local and regional slaughter houses would thrive again. There is plenty of demand trust me I farm and raise livestock for a living. Awesome video keep it up.

If this be true, then Cargill itself can be sued and prosecuted quite easily by testing the food they stand behind. Nutritional levels of packaged food, and some 'natural' foods, have gone down the gurgler for many years by allowing food companies to be owned by Corporate conglomerates!! Sue them out of existence until such times the food improves in Nutritional Values and Standards.....something missing all through Europe!!!
