LIFE IDEAS THE FUTURE OF EVERYTHING Is DNA the Future of Data Storage? How a synthetic version of our genetic code could become the world’s most efficient hard drive

Cecile G. Tamura October 26 at 6:33am Coding the Message : How data files become synthetic DNA The worldwide total of stored digital data will hit 16 trillion gigabytes next year, most of it housed in huge data centers. A shoebox worth of DNA could hold the equivalent of roughly 100 giant data centers. DNA can be remarkably durable, particularly when kept cool and dry. In March, researchers announced that they had partially reconstructed the genomes of ancient humans whose bones had been in a Spanish cave for more than 400,000 years. In contrast, the magnetic tape that is the best long-term data storage option today lasts only a few decades before starting to degrade. Storing data in DNA requires translating the 1s and 0s of binary digital files into long strings of the four different nucleotides, or bases, that make up DNA strands and write out the genetic code. In 2012, Harvard molecular biologist George Church wrote a 50,000-word book totaling less than a megabyte of data into DNA and printed it onto a glass chip smaller than a pollen grain. This year he reported having encoded 22 megabytes of digital data. Microsoft says it has now written almost 10 times as much digital data into a collection of millions of pieces of DNA, each 150 bases long. Is DNA the Future of Data Storage?

21 Apple Pay Tips & Why It’s The Future of Mobile Payments

Apple Pay is the future of mobile payments for one of the larger, wealthier mobile audiences — those on iOS. Now discover how you and your customers can benefit. Apple Pay will be here before the holidays. Is your business ready? Have you even thought through the potential impact? Apple Pay is a next generation checkout solution aimed at solving one of the biggest mobile commerce pain points: checkout frustration. Inserting payment information on small screens is difficult, cumbersome, and time consuming. Neither the customer nor merchant win in that scenario. This is why most mobile commerce transactions today occur on tablet –– not smartphone. But Apple Pay is very likely to change that. AirBnB, Fancy and Target have all already seen success with Apple Pay for mobile conversions. Soon, Apple will release the technology to the rest of the industry, likely forever altering mobile commerce as we know it. This could be the tipping point of the mobile commerce boom –– and this time, smartphones will be leading the way. Thanks to seamless transactions, speedy, one-click payments and TouchID technology that decreases fraud, increases consumer trust and removes the need to manually enter detailed payment info, Apple Pay will bring about a new era of retail and finally close the lid on mobile checkout conversion issues. With its seamlessness and security, Apple is raising the bar on mobile payments for the entire retail industry. Below, you’ll find 21 experts offering their insights and best tips to businesses on why and how to use Apple Pay. Note: Currently, all iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus, iPhone SE, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro and Apple Watch customers can take advantage of this technology today. BigCommerce customers can now activate Apple Pay for their stores. Allen Burt, Founder & CEO, Blue Stout Allen Burt It’s going to be game-changing. One of the major hindrances to mobile buying has always been the checkout. It’s easy to browse, it’s easy to add-to-cart, but the checkout process has always been cumbersome on mobile. Apple Pay will streamline the checkout and make it easier. My advice for ecommerce companies wanting to explore Apple Pay is first take a peek into your mobile traffic, especially your mobile abandonment rate. Once you get some data around this, you can be informed about making a decision to integrate your ecommerce website with Apple Pay (currently only the Safari browser supports Apple Pay for desktop). If you do decide to move forward with offering this payment method to your customers and integrating it into your website, you’ll need to make it obvious! Offering Apply Pay could even be an incentive for customers to purchase if they know they don’t have to waste time entering their payment information. So, visually display the fact your website supports Apple Pay and include it in your marketing strategy to educate and incentivize users to use it as their payment method. Jennifer Pollock, Content Marketing Editorial Lead, Square Jennifer Pollock NFC payments like Apple Pay are the the most secure payment method out there. Apple Pay contains multiple layers of dynamic encryption and is also protected by TouchID, Apple’s fingerprint technology. Apple Pay is also the fastest and most convenient way to pay — which is why it’s important to accept it this holiday season. Apple Pay transactions happen near instantaneously (as opposed to chip cards, which can take several seconds to process). So to provide the best (and most secure) customer experience throughout the holidays, it’s a smart strategy to implement a POS in your brick and mortar that can accept Apple Pay ASAP. Kevin Richards, CEO & Founder, Ventura Web Design & Marketing Kevin Richards Apple Pay is an absolute game changer for small business and, dare I say, one of Amazon.com’s biggest threats. When a customer can checkout on any website with Apple Pay simply by using TouchID, that creates a frictionless checkout and evens the playing field for all merchants. The biggest questions that customers face when shopping online is wondering if the merchant they’re shopping with is trustworthy: “Will I get my order on time and in good condition?” “How hard will it be to complete the checkout (especially on a mobile device)?” Apple Pay resolves both issues by conveying trust and making checkout incredibly easy. Michael Ugino, Co-founder, Sellbrite Michael Ugino Sorry, I’m an Android Fanboy –– just kidding! The benefit is that there is a massive audience of iPhone-owning mobile shoppers who are the earliest adopters of Apple Pay, and not using it will create an additional layer of friction for those mobile conversions. Mobile commerce is still in its infancy (in terms of $$$$) but already accounts for more than 50% of traffic to ecommerce sites. It’s easy to connect the dots. Catalin Zorzini, Founder, Ecommerce-Platforms.com Catalin Zorzini Apple Pay will help you compete, considering Apple is one of the best companies at generating buzz for its new products. Some people won’t even consider buying online if an ecommerce store doesn’t have a PayPal button. Apple Pay could easily end up in the same situation. Apple has done a wonderful job of making partnerships with major credit card companies and retail stores, so it’s not that crazy to think that NFC-based payment methods will end up being the norm. It’s also worth mentioning that Apple Pay should help shrink the divide between online and offline sales, since customers can use it for both types of purchases. Therefore, you may end up getting better sale management options along with more sales in general. Jan Lastuvka, CEO & Co-Founder, MonkeyData Jan Lastuvka Apple Pay reduces friction with the payment process and is more secure than other payment methods. Apple Pay uses biometrics and does not require a credit card to be present, thus reducing the risk of stolen card numbers. Although Apple Pay requires an iPhone 6 or later and the adoption rate has been a bit slow so far, it has been increasing. You can be sure that Apple will continue pushing this payment solution and that more users will adopt as they upgrade their phones. Richard Lazazzera, Founder, A Better Lemonade Stand Richard Lazazzera Apply Pay is a solution to those low mobile conversions. Typing in address and credit card info is an awful experience on desktop, never mind mobile devices. Add to that the fact that most people are on the go while using their mobile device and it’s not hard to understand why mobile conversions remain so low. Adding Apple Pay gives your customers a frictionless way to instantly make a purchase without thinking twice about it. Kunle Campbell, Founder, 2X Ecommerce Kunle Campbell Apple Pay is truly frictionless commerce geared to increasing mobile transactions. My advice to retailers would be to run a thorough mobile UX audit and deliver a truly mobile first user experience to shoppers and customers. Now that the mobile checkout has been more or less ‘fixed’ with Apple Pay (with Android Pay to follow), mobile devices will becoming the primary de facto online shopping device. Drew Sanocki, Private Equity Operating Partner, Empire Growth Group Drew Sanocki Every time you add a payment solution, you make it easier for a related customer segment to buy and improve their conversion rates. If you offer an impulse buy product, have a lot of mobile shoppers, or have items with lower AOVs, the Apple Pay user segment is probably not insignificant. Go get them! Brett Curry, CEO, OMG Commerce Brett Curry Right now, the greatest reason for the disparity between mobile and desktop conversion rates lies in the checkout friction on mobile. Mobile checkout is often super painful. Once Apple Pay is supported on the Safari mobile browser, this could be huge for iPhone users. This is a coveted segment for merchants since iPhone users consistently spend more online than owners of other devices by a huge margin. Chris Van Dusen, CEO, Parcon Media Chris Van Dusen Speed and trust: the less info you need a consumer to enter on your site, the more likely it is that they will complete the transaction with you. Services like Apple Pay help take that mental roadblock of manually giving you their credit card info out of the equation. Really, it is all about convenience. Jason Dea, Director of Product Marketing, Intelex Jason Dea The hardest part of any retail business is optimizing your customer journey. What that means is improving the satisfaction and happiness a customer feels when they interact with your store (online or brick-and-mortar). The logistics of payment can often be an overlooked bit of friction in that journey. Electronic wallets and payment platforms like Apple Pay, which streamline payment into one-click, can be a great ally in removing those final bits of friction in your customer journey. Danna Crawford, Owner, PowerSellingMom.com apple-pay-danna-crawford There are a ton of “tech-ie” shoppers out there that love to be a part of paying with Apple Pay. Even many fast food chains are using it at the drive-thru and I myself, as an Apple watch owner, find it cool to be a part of the trend. This is just be another way to increase the odds for more sales as a business owner. William Harris, Ecommerce Consultant, Elumynt William Harris Apple Pay can be very beneficial, but you have to know your audience. As a starter, you probably don’t want to have seven different payment buttons (like Amazon, Visa, PayPal, etc), so A/B test which combination of payment buttons works best for your audience. You could also get a good idea if this would be beneficial to try out on your site by looking into your Google Analytics reports to find out the number of iOS devices visiting and purchasing on your website. Ryan Stemkoski, Interactive Director, Zipline Interactive Ryan Stemkoski With mobile ecommerce rates rising sharply, Apple Pay will give consumers using Safari an easy route to complete a transaction. This will offer a huge time saving to those customers that have set up Apple Pay, increasing the likelihood of conversion this holiday season as the program rolls out for those users. Since Apple Pay is currently limited to Safari, it is possible to use browser recognition to display advertisements and special promotions only to users on Safari regarding your store’s ability to accept Apple Pay that are not shown to users of other browsers. This provides an opportunity to capitalize on this new audience and convenience feature without forfeiting critical holiday advertising real estate for users that are ineligible for Apple Pay. Adii Pienaar, Founder, Receiptful Adii Pienaar Customers worldwide are using their mobile devices for online shopping more often. Depending on who you want to believe, it’s estimated that since late-2014 more than 50% of all online purchases are made from mobile devices. Apple / iOS has about a 15% market share of mobile devices, which is a huge potential user base for Apple Pay. The attraction (to the customer) of Apple Pay is the convenience of already having their credit card details on their Apple devices. They’re also already familiar with spending money on their Apple devices (even if it’s just via iTunes or the App Store). We are also seeing a trend where customers are spending more dollars when they can act impulsively and with a low-level of friction. Think about how easy Amazon makes this with their 1-Click Purchases. For this very reason, I’d recommend that all online retailers offer Apple Pay as a payment option at checkout, because it makes it easier for customers to spend money with you. Jacob Firuta, Content Manager, LiveChat Jacob Firuta Removing friction from the checkout process is always a good idea. It decreases cart abandonment and stimulates more impulse sales. However, it’s best to offer it as an alternative and not the only way to make a payment since most users –– at least for now –– will go for the good old credit card. Aaron Agius, Managing Director, Louder Online Aaron Agius I’m on the fence about it. If it’s important to your business to be seen as a tech early adopter, or if it’s expected from your audience, then yeah, you should have it. But for most small businesses, the POS device and transaction costs just don’t make sense. I’d hold off in most cases until the demand grows. Ned Nadima, Growth Manager, Rare.io Ned Nadima The main benefit of Apple Pay is to ease the checkout process. Many customers love innovative companies. So, using the latest technology during the shopping experience improves customer perception of your brand. Jim Cook, Business Development Manager, Avid Brio Jim Cook With the increase of iOS users, Apple Pay becomes one of the best methods to accept. After all, it becomes that much easier for iOS users to pay. Rieva Lesonsky, CEO, SmallBizDaily.com Rieva Lesonsky Obviously, consumers are nervous about credit card security so offering the many payment choices is a good idea. Apple Pay means they don’t even have to pull out their credit card at a register. What do you think about Apple Pay and how it will influence the industry? Let us know in the comments below.

How and Why Do Brain Cells Die?

By Norman Rusin @normanrusin Chaining Proteins May Free Brain Cells from Disease How did the king of Corinth, Sisyphus, outwit the god of death, Thanatos? By using the god’s own chains. When it was Sisyphus’s time to die, Zeus ordered Thanatos to chain Sisyphus up in Tartarus, the kingdom of the dead. King Sisyphus slyly asked Thanatos to demonstrate how the chains worked. As Thanatos was granting him his wish, Sisyphus seized the opportunity and trapped Thanatos in the chains instead. Once the god of death was bound by the strong chains, no one died. Nowadays, another chain of events leads our brain cells to death: it is called parthanatos—keeping in its name the Greek myth’s memory—and it is responsible for injuries such as stroke and illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. However, Johns Hopkins University researchers have found the protein at the end of that chain of events that delivers the fatal strike by carving up a cell’s DNA. Their discovery may lead to new drugs that would prevent, stop, or weaken the process. A Programmed Death Conducted on laboratory-grown cells, these new experiments build on earlier work by research partners Ted Dawson, MD, PhD, now director of the Institute for Cell Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Valina Dawson, PhD, professor of neurology. Their research groups found that—despite very different causes and symptoms—injury, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and the rare, fatal genetic disorder Huntington’s disease have a shared form of “programmed” brain cell death. The team looked closely at a protein called mitochondrial Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF), a specialized part of a cell outside its nucleus that causes the cell’s programmed death. They knew that when AIF leaves its usual place in the energy-producing mitochondria of the cell and moves to the nucleus, it sparks the carving up of the DNA housed in the nucleus and leads to cell death. How and Why Do Brain Cells Die? Nucleus of a cell undergoing parthanatos. Credit: Yingfei Wang and I-Hsun Wu / Johns Hopkins Medicine. “I can’t overemphasize what an important form of cell death it is; it plays a role in almost all forms of cellular injury,” Ted Dawson says. The research groups have spent years delineating each of the links in the parthanatos chain of events and the roles of the proteins involved. The current study, they say, has completed the chain. It Takes Two to Kill a Cell Since AIF itself cannot cut DNA, it was necessary to look for proteins that interact with DNA. Yingfei Wang, assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, used a protein chip to screen thousands of human proteins to find such a protein. First, she dug out 160 proteins qualified for this task. Then, she used custom molecules, called small interfering RNAs, to stop each of those proteins’ manufacture, one by one, in lab-grown human cells to see if doing so would prevent cell death. One of the 160 proteins, known as macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF), was a winner. “We found that AIF binds to MIF and carries it into the nucleus, where MIF chops up DNA,” Ted Dawson reports. “We think that’s the final execution step in parthanatos.” Where Does MIF Strike? Dawson cautions that while parthanatos is known to cause cell death in many brain conditions, MIF’s ability to chop up DNA has so far been definitively linked only with stroke—when the MIF gene was disabled in mice, the damage caused by a stroke was dramatically reduced. “We’re interested in finding out whether MIF is also involved in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases,” he says, and that if so, and if an inhibitor of MIF proves successful in testing, it could have implications for treating many conditions. The research group reports that in work to be published they have also identified a few chemical compounds that block MIF’s action in the lab-grown cells, protecting them from parthanatos. Ted Dawson says the group plans to test these compounds in animals and modify them to maximize their safety and effectiveness. —Norman is a freelance copy editor and journalist who assists writers to produce sound and telling communications.

All you need to know About PC Maintenance The Top Nine Ways to Make a Windows PC Move Faster As time goes by, a computer's speed can decrease. This is especially true for computers that have Microsoft Windows on them. This problem is evident as the system takes more and more time to respond to the actions of the user. These slowed actions include the opening of folders and files, internet surfing as well as other tasks. The good news is there are ways to speed up a slowed computer. The list below outlines the things you need to do to improve the performance of your computer. To be the most effective, you should complete these steps in order. The key to success is doing the least invasive and simplest thing first. Complete each of these steps, in order, until the system begins to respond better. The Most Important Rule is Do No Harm If you are interested in improving your computer's speed, that is great. Just remember that the most important rule is doing no harm. Once you go beyond the scope of the Windows forum, if you begin to feel as if you have gotten in over your head, ask for help from people you know. It is important to keep in mind that you have time. You have the ability to stop most of the processes listed below without causing any harm to your computer. Common sense and caution are essential when working with your computer. In fact, problems are many times much easier to fix than you think. The Nine Steps to Increase the Speed of Your Computer: 1. Make Certain that Your Hardware is Adequate In addition to everything that you are able to do with software to ensure optimal computer function, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware to sustain Windows. If you are not, this is a critical error and you must correct it to increase the speed of your computer. 2. Clean Up Your Desktop Is your computer running slower? Is your desktop full of files? Is your hard drive light flashing while your computer is attempting to respond to the requested action? There is no need to fret; there are things that you are able to do to eliminate this problem. 3. Scan Your System for Possible Errors To understand the problem, you must understand what an operating system actually is. The operating system consists of an assortment of files. Each of these files performs a different function. However, it is a possibility that over time, some of the operating system's files have changed. Some of these files may also be corrupted. If either of these situations occurs, the computer's speed could decrease. You should utilize the utility named 'System File Checking.' This utility will inspect and then correct any problem that it finds with these files. 4. Scan Your Computer for Spyware, Adware and Viruses All the Windows computers are susceptible to obtaining a virus. Viruses are malicious programs that cause havoc on your computer. These problems could be major or minor, depending on the kind of virus that is infecting the system. Adware and Spyware are programs that companies create to obtain information about consumers. They do this so they are able to successfully market their products. Generally, these kinds of programs are not made for malicious reasons. However, Adware and Spyware can slow a computer down by using up some of the computer's memory. By periodically scanning your computer and removing any Spyware, Adware or Viruses that you find, you will be able to improve your computer's performance. 5. Always Uninstall Any Unused Programs Over time, you have more than likely accumulated various programs on the computer that you no longer use. When you install a program, connections are created between that program and the computer's operating system. Even when you are not using these programs, they have a tendency to slow your system down. If you uninstall these programs using the original installation disk or file, you will be able to free up some memory on your computer. This may help increase the speed of your system's performance. 6. Adjust the Visual Effects on Your Computer for Better Performance Windows offers numerous interesting visual effects, which include fading menus and animated windows. If you are running out of or already do not have an appropriate amount of operating memory, these visual effects do have the ability to decrease the performance speed of your computer. If you adjust or reduce these visual effects, your computer's system speed should increase. In order to increase the speed on Vista computers, you may want to consider disabling functions and features that you do not use. To learn more read 'How to Speed Up Windows Vista. 7. Do Not Have Seldom Used Programs Start Automatically Programs use RAM, which is operating memory. It is also referred to as 'system resources.' If you have programs initiating at Windows startup, that you do not always use, remove them from your startup sequence. By doing this, you will speed up your computer's booting up process and performance. 8. Consider Defragmenting Your Computer's Hard Drive Defragmenting should only be done once you have attempted all the other options available. If you have numerous programs and a lot of information on your computer, chances are that Windows has put pieces of files in different areas on your hard drive. Windows may end up doing this for multitudes of programs and files, depending on the amount of space that is available. When you defragment your computer's hard drive, all the information for each of your files will be located in one place. This can result in a faster performing computer. A Very Important Note Prior to trying this, make sure you backup everything onto another computer, CD, disk or hard drive. You should only defragment your computer if you have a reliable power source for the computer. If your computer shuts off while in the process of defragmenting one of its drives, it will cause you even more problems than you had before. 9. Reinstall Your Programs and Operating System Once you have completed all the steps listed here, your computer should become faster and more responsive. If this does not happen, you may want to consider reinstalling your programs and the operating system. This process is a 'clean sweep.' You have to back up all your user settings and data, then wipe your hard drive clean and begin re-installing the operating system using your original disks. Next, begin reinstalling your programs and then restore all the user settings and data. In the end, a 'clean sweep' can be nice because you fundamentally have a brand new computer. Your computer is now free of registry changes, software, errors and additions that turn a Windows computer from a quick rabbit into a slow moving tortoise. The negative thing about the 'clean sweep' is that time and planning are necessary to do it properly. If your computer is only three to four years old, and continues running slower than it did when initially purchased it, this might be the only way to make a considerable difference in its performance.

Alkaline Food

Top Six Alkaline Foods to Eat Every Day for Vibrant Health alkaline by ANGELA DOSS report this ad alkaline chartThe typical American diet is a deadly one, consisting primarily of toxic and acid-forming foods like processed sugars, artificial sweeteners, refined grains, conventionally produced meats and dairy, and hidden genetically modified organisms. All this, combined with a plethora of other challenging environmental factors (such as lack of rest, psychological stress, and pharmaceutical drugs), mean it’s no wonder that more and more people are being diagnosed with chronic, degenerative illnesses or otherwise deadly conditions for which modern conventional medicine claims to have no known cure. report this ad One of the basic underlying problems with this unsustainable lifestyle – and there are many – is the average consumer’s lack of understanding that the body must balance the blood’s pH levels at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365 in order to survive. When a person ingests food to “burn” for fuel, the digestive and metabolic process transforms it into a kind of ash which is either acidic or alkaline. The laws of modern biochemistry further explain that it is not the organic matter of foods (whether the food itself is acidic or alkaline), but their inorganic matter (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, phosphorous; that is, how they break down in our bodies), that determines either the acidity or alkalinity of this ashy residue. For this reason, and because all foods in nature contain both acid and alkaline-forming elements according to the Conscious Living Center, balance is either achieved or thwarted as a direct result of the foods we choose to eat. Too many acid-forming foods can have dire consequences for our health, with “acidosis” being a common diagnosis in diabetics, for example. This is because when the nutrients required to maintain this slightly alkaline state cannot be obtained from food, the body will instead draw from its own stores, like the bones or other vital tissues – damaging its ability to repair itself and detoxify heavy metals, thereby making a person more vulnerable to fatigue and illness. And the margin for error is small. Even an only slightly acidic pH of 6.9 can actually lead to coma and death. Of course, the ultimate goal is balance. Eating too many alkalizing foods can lead to its own fair share of complications over time, but the risk of this is seemingly less likely, given the current sorry state of today’s highly addictive consumerist diet. To combat the effects of such a diet, here are six of the most alkaline-forming foods to work into your everyday meals: 1. Root vegetables Due to the healing “yang” nature of these foods in traditional Chinese medicine, and their tendency to be more rich in minerals than many other vegetables, it may be safe to say that you can’t get enough of them. Look for radishes especially (black, red or white), as well as beets, carrots, turnips, horseradish and rutabaga. Ready to eat after steaming for just 15-20 minutes, root vegetables will help you feel both satiated and better grounded. report this ad 2. Cruciferous vegetables These are the veggies we all know and love, made even more delicious with just a small amount of healthy, homemade sauce like pesto. Choose from broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and the like. 3. Leafy greens These include kale, Swiss chard, turnip greens and spinach – of which spinach may in fact be the best pick. Known especially for its rich vitamin K and folate content, spinach is also packed with vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants and fiber, helping to improve digestion and even vision. 4. Garlic A true miracle food, garlic appears at the top of innumerable lists of foods that encourage overall health, and alkaline-forming food is no exception. Among its other benefits are its ability to promote cardiovascular and immune health by lowering blood pressure, cleansing the liver and fighting off disease. 5. Cayenne peppers (capsicum) As part of a family of potent, tropical peppers which contain enzymes essential to endocrine function, cayenne is among the most alkalizing foods. It is known for its antibacterial properties and is a rich supply of vitamin A, making it a helpful agent in fighting off the harmful free radicals that lead to stress and illness. 6. Lemons Lemons may be the most alkalizing food of all. As a natural disinfectant, it can heal wounds while also providing potent and immediate relief for hyperacidity and virus-related conditions, as well as coughs, colds, flu and heartburn. Lemon also works to energize the liver and promote detoxification. So it can’t hurt to think twice about what’s on your plate at your next meal, but not doing so might. Just applying that age-old motherly advice to “eat your vegetables” can be a solid first step in achieving better health.

Own Most Of Your Food

We all want to add diversity to our meals. This means searching the shelves for new products, extending our grocery lists, and trying the newest food products. We do this to boost our health, as well as ensuring we aren’t buying all of our groceries from one or two companies. However, Oxfam International have put together a comprehensive infographic that illustrates just how little diversity there is in supermarkets. Despite the hundreds and hundreds of different brand names we see, just ten conglomerates produce the vast majority of the food we eat. So much for diversity… The Big 10: Companies That Own Most Of Your Food The infographic shows that Mondelez, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Associated British Foods, Mars, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Unilever, own nearly every processed item that is readily available to buy. Whether you indulge in sweet treats, fizzy drinks, potato chips, or even just a good cup of tea, you’re almost certainly buying from these big companies. Some of the brands that are owned by these multinationals are surprising. For example, PG tips are owned by Unilever and Pepsico is the business behind Quaker Oats. It’s a worrying sign when we don’t know who is making our food. The reason that they hide their name behind other brand names is so that consumers don’t realize that they have a monopoly on the market. They can hide their corporate greed, which ensures that they can infiltrate more markets and crush competition from independently owned small businesses. The biggest downside for people like you and me is that manufacturing so much food leads to overly processed and chemical-laden products. The use of preservatives, mixed with the lack of consumer-led accountability, mean that the ‘Big 10’ aren’t making food that is detrimental to our health. It’s a terrifying wake-up call considering their combined market share, but do not despair as there are simple steps you can take to avoid them. How to avoid the Big 10 The release of the infographic by Oxfam International is the first step to avoiding these faceless corporations. Take the time to study the image and make the conscious decision to avoid the brands on the list. Although the list is comprehensive, there is no guarantee that Oxfam have successfully identified every ‘Big 10’ item in the grocery store. Bare this in mind when you are shopping and read up on the food you are buying. You should always know exactly where your food is coming from and who is responsible for producing it. Finally, the best solution is the advice that I always give when it comes to ensuring that you are eating ethically and healthily. Where possible avoid branded foods, and even chain grocery stores. Buy your food from local independent stores and farmer’s markets. If we all did so we could stop the growing influence of the ‘Big 10’ which would force them to change their bad practices. As Oxfam’s report states: ‘The world’s largest food and beverage companies have a lot of power – but you have more. And because they’re not using theirs enough to help poor communities or the planet, you can use yours to change the way they do business.’ Never forget, and never stop believing, that you can make a real difference.
