Investigation of the Supermarket

I examined the supermarket through two lenses; the philosophical and economical lenses. I looked at various food products.

Here are the questions that I posed through these two lenses:

How do supermarkets make deals with farms?
Why do identical items that are packaged by different companies vary in price?
How do small farms compete with eachother over items such as milk, eggs and fruit?
What are the affects of manufacturing breads that are healthier and have labels such as "light"?
How does one know to choose from different cuts of chicken?
What if competing farm companies were actually owned by the same larger corporation?
Where is the line between fair business and monopoly?
