How about movements that direct money towards smaller or local entities? It's hard for me to imagine the eat local / farmers market movement as being quietly backed by corporations.

I wouldn't be absolutely shocked to learn that there are industry advocacy groups that push movements like that.

I'm also suspicious about the whole organic movement and companies like Whole Foods. See also: the concept of 'food gentrification.'

There was actually just an AMA on Reddit from a scientist whose research group was being harassed by an organic food lobby called "US Right to Know."

Anti-GMO group that’s harassing university scientists is the real tool of corporate America
