So Oil Companies fundementally different than fruit companies? gotcha.

Uh, yeah. Like a car company is different from google. Plus the revenue scale difference is startling. I think Dol is the biggest food company and it is definitely south of $10B and I think Shell is north of $400B. I suspect that oil is higher margin than fruit - even after all the governments take a huge rake off 'er.

Not that it matters to the conversation but Nestlé and Kraft are the two largest food companies. I would have thought ConAgra was on that list but apparently it's not. Dole is the largest fruit company though. Again, not that this is pertinent to the conversation, I just know your a fan of Cliff Clavinesque information.
