Well, people are still looking for the miracle solution that will let them lose weight effortlessly. That any diet comes down to reducing calories some of those “brand new” and “revolutionary” products quietly leave out.

Interestingly, the same brand of candy bar can taste quite different depending on where in the world you buy it. Products bought in the US tend to be sweeter than their European counterparts, for example.

Do you therefore believe that this was just a coincidence?

Personally, I love dark chocolate, but am disgusted at the quality of American candy bars. How can anyone eat those things?

Of course, they will argue that the people consuming such sweet and chocolate products gaining the points for exercise and fitness activities (by definition, not free due to the inherent point cost) would be doing so anyway, so rather than this being an incentive actually contributes to alleviate the problem. Which I think is very true. I cannot think of anyone buying an extra kitkat to ‘get that point to do exercise’.

Companies such as Anheuser–Busch InBev will continue to bribe governments to allow continued widespread consumption, pharmaceutical companies will continue to produce symptom, companies will continue to make money by any means necessary so long as they do not fall out of public favour.

I can’t remember the name, but there was an innovative and remarkable engineer who in the early 20th century played the police and gangsters off against each other by selling faster boat designs to one, then the other, then improving the former, then improving the latter slightly more still and so on and so on. Solid strategy… so long as you aren’t found out.

Like proctor and gamble, nestle has their fingers in too many pies – you will likely consume a product of theirs daily without even noticing. Doesn’t make them evil by any means if different branches have conflicting interests though.

Yep, in a way you have the admire their guts.

Yoko, thanks for the compliment! It sounds like a beaten expression, but just be yourself and write the way you feel like. There are six billion people on the planet and some will connect with your personal style of writing, while others can’t get along with the way I put things.

Kudos to nestle for that 😀

They are making good money by selling European water in Japan where we have plenty of natural tasty water.

As a marketing strategy model, they are a really interesting company.
