Description
Antisocial Investments: The Food We Eat
What if the products sitting in our grocery carts were connected to something much larger than food?
Antisocial Investments: The Food We Eat is the first volume in an ongoing investigative art-book and zine series exploring the hidden political influence of major corporations embedded in everyday life. Blending dystopian visual design, consumer awareness, and publicly documented political research, this compact hardcover field guide maps how some of the world’s largest food and grocery-related corporations have reinvested consumer dollars into lobbying networks, dark-money organizations, anti-labor efforts, climate obstruction, billionaire tax agendas, healthcare influence campaigns, and MAGA-aligned political funding.
This 8″ x 8″ hardcover edition features bold symbolic graphics, visual shorthand systems, and research-based breakdowns of multinational corporations shaping modern consumer culture behind the scenes. Inspired by themes of corporate power, mass psychology, and the politics hidden inside everyday convenience, this book transforms the grocery aisle into a map of influence.
Included with this edition is an exclusive companion fridge magnet highlighting seven major grocery and food-related corporations connected to multiple dark-money categories based on publicly documented political funding, lobbying, executive donations, and corporate influence networks:
JBS, Tyson Foods, Johnson & Johnson, Reynolds, Hormel, Walmart, and Nestlé.
This volume is part of the larger Antisocial Investments series. Upcoming companion books and magnets will explore:
– Hardware & Home Improvement Corporations
– Drugstore & Pharmaceutical Corporations
– Department Store & Retail Corporations
A parallel companion series focusing on corporations investing more heavily in democracy, labor protections, sustainability, and social responsibility is also currently in development.
Printed on archival-quality paper with a durable hardcover finish, this book is designed as both a collectible visual artifact and a conversation piece — part research guide, part cultural critique, part warning label for the modern marketplace.

Antisocial & Prosocial Investments
Follow the Money. Scan the System.
Every purchase is a vote inside a system most people never see.
Antisocial Investments is an ongoing series of books, zines, magnets, and visual field guides exploring the hidden political, economic, and psychological systems embedded within everyday consumer life. From grocery stores and pharmacies to hardware chains and department retailers, these projects map how corporate profits are often reinvested into lobbying networks, labor suppression, climate obstruction, dark-money politics, media influence, and competing visions of democracy itself.
Alongside the “Follow the Money” editions, companion Prosocial Investments guides highlight corporations more publicly aligned with sustainability, labor protections, democratic institutions, and social responsibility — offering readers not only critique, but alternatives.
Part consumer-awareness project, part cultural critique, part collectible artifact, this series asks a simple but urgent question:
Where does our money go after we spend it?
