Kroger was the final gouger, not the only gouger. Every entity with power through the supply chain added a few extra percent, by the time it got to Kroger prices were much higher. Then Kroger also took its vig. It's why the 'net income' argument is so dumb.

Iowans are navigating a water crisis, and communities like Penney's face high nitrates and forever chemicals in their drinking water. Our Senators 'could' do something about it: iowacci.org/blog/farm-bill…

This article does a really nice job laying out the state of play: everyone knows where the pollution is coming from (ag), that current approaches aren’t working (and never will), and what needs to be done instead (regulation), but no one has the courage or will to act.
