In this effort, government at every level is complicit. The feds ship sloppy joe makings to grateful school-lunch programs--it's the cheapest grub available.

Among them: some telecom (Verizon), some energy (Williams, PG&E, Aon, Royal Dutch Petroleum), some grub (Tyson, Wendy?s, Del Monte Foods), some health care (Humana, Cardinal Health) and some tech (Scient, Applied Microsystems, Priceline.com).
