①based on how the products are grown or made是过去分词短语作方式状语，how引起宾语从句，作介词on的宾语。who have tried to use green and clean ways to make the foods是定语从句修饰companies，此处who表示公司里的人，若用which则表示公司这一地方。
②foods表示各种各样的食品，所以用了复数，若单纯表示数量，则food是不可数名词。
17．Because we have so much to choose from, many companies and stores offer advice about what we should eat.
