The appeal of Honest and Dollar Shave Club is that they have a market that is grocery store agnostic. They're both effectively mail-order brands. I mean, you can buy Honest at BBB I think but it's cheaper and easier through Amazon. Grocery store sales are shifting away from iconic brands and towards artisanal bullshit and "Honest" is artisanal bullshit to the core - I say this having gone through a couple-three boxes of their diapers. The issue with Bayer and Monsanto is it takes the agricultural supply duopoly to a monopoly, effectively. Monsanto should be broken up, not merged.
