Clever synergy indeed, after getting you good, fat and happy, Nestle will charge you gobs of money to slim down afte fattening you up with thier other products in the first place.


<snip>AP wire
In a twist in corporate synergy, chocolate-maker Nestle AG said Monday it will fatten up its weight-loss business by buying Jenny Craig Inc. for $600 million.

The acquisition follows Nestle's purchase for around $670 million last month of Uncle Tobys, an Australian maker of nutritional cereals and snacks, and is part of the company's "continuing commitment to nutrition, health and wellness," the Swiss company said in a statement.

2. Corporations make more money off the swings than they make doing the

right thing in the first place.

I bet a lot of corporations are llined up to make a lot of money off the huge swing backwards that will result from the Bush administration.

4. Instead of fat bashing human beings

LOOK AT THE ARTICLE,the corporate synergy there'
..Here you see a hidden cause of the"fat epidemic.

Ever observe what companies have money invested in which sorts of stocks what types of companies they buy? Be aware and you might not be such a bigot to fat people anymore,and you might even see it is pointless to blame the victim and pull that old puritanical dark ages sin of gluttony claptrap out to humiliate fat people.
