When it comes to food, Kraft is an industry juggernaut — worth $40 billion. <br> <br>But it wasn’t always the giant that it is today. The history of Kraft starts with a man stranded in Chicago, who took his last $65 and began selling cheese from a horse-pulled wagon. <br> <br>Then, he used leftover cheese scraps to experiment and find a new way to make cheese that lasted longer, which he shipped in tins to support the soldiers fighting in the first World War. <br> <br>This is the story of how James L. Kraft built his food empire. <br> <br>[Music Licenses] <br>Code: OETZSIJL1X9FDITJ, K0Q62UNYHIPLU4LI, QWHXEIEMRPVJ7PMS, BJS8EYNABHXT9XEI, 9HGQQUSBVVKKARCB, 2HEF2HFVBKMHTNLV, ROE28WFUINV9O5JR
