On the way in to work this morning, my wife and I got into a discussion
about wealth, farmers, and grocery stores.  In this discussion, she stated that:

	a) the Weston family owns most of the chain grocery stores in North
		America, and
	b) they own over 200 big-name companies.

Now I can sort of believe the latter (although I am wary of the 200 figure) but
I really don't buy the former.  Does anyone have any idea about the validity of
these statements?  What companies do they own, anyway?
