I loved your ideas of what they could do. However, let's not forget that it is the parents that buy the food for the household and act as role models to their children. They need a healthy lifestyle intervention as well. I completely agree with you that Coke needs to do more than their current defensive approach. I loved your ideas of what they could do.

I think you and I agree on the direction change should take, but differ when it comes to enacting policies to influence change. It‘s usually an irreconcilable difference in world philosophy that hours of debate won’t alter, but it would be interesting to meet and discuss :) I think there are basic flaws in the labeling rules and all the rating systems in place and in consideration. Our obsession with vitamins and other nutrients has enabled industry to sprinkle a bunch of them on any junk and promote them to health foods, complete with claims and a check mark. The mere fact that we need panels of experts with calculators to help us navigate the sea of processed foods on our shelves says it all. My grandma knew what healthy food was. So should we. Great round up!
