Our May Food Funny humorously teased at the rapid pace which food and beverage companies are merging, acquiring, divesting, etc.; however, there is some kernel of truth to the M&A activity taking place.

Here is a list of articles we've published this week regarding M&A activity in the food and beverage industry:

• ConAgra Sells Medallion Unit to Shearer's Foods
• Hillshire Brands To Acquire Pinnacle Foods
• Flowers Foods Will Reopen a Few Hostess Plants
• Snyder's-Lance Acquires Baptista's Bakery; Sells Private Brands to Shearer's Foods
