“The CEO of Coca Colas was forced to defend their funding of scientific research where they had asked us to swallow conclusions suggesting obesity was the result of a sedentary lifestyle and not the over consumption of calories.”
Distinction without a difference. Consume more calories than you burn, and you’ll get fat. Sedentary lifestyle means you’re not burning as many calories as your instinctive consumption level is designed for (body expects to burn X calories, so you hunger for that much intake, then by not living up to the expected burn rate end up storing the energy as fat).
“Coca-Cola as a brand will be battered.”
Baloney. It’s a stable market base. Nobody who drinks Coke is going to stop drinking Coke just because Coca-Cola promotes the notion that you won’t get fat drinking Coke if you’re active enough to burn all the extra calories it provides.
What about the Gene Simmons brand?
Actually Subway is in trouble. If the claim by one person claiming to be an informant for the FBI and that she reported Jared to subway management and met with them twice about it and subway did nothing about it... They at Done as a brand.
If this turns out to be true no person with a shred of decency will ever eat there again.
Ashley Maddison yes, if you want to be a secret place getting hacked is bad. Subway no, they’d already been weaning themselves off Jarad for a while before all this started. Coca Cola no, they still own most of what people drink in this country, the “flag ship” could cease to exist tomorrow and barely effect the company.
I am guessing the informant was very much involved in the molestation. If you look at the her statements that have been released about jarred activities they are just not the type you could make unless you had very inside knowledge.. unless there is inside correspondence in the company about jarred nothing will happen. even if there is some proof of knowledge it would be those working for the company that knew that might have legal problems.
Indeed. How true. Quote of the day.
Nailed it with regard to Subway.
The lesson to learn from this technology-wise is that a determined hacker can gain access to pretty much any system.
The bad news is that hackers tend to be leftists. We can wallow in the schadenfreude when immoral companies like Ashley Madison get hacked, but how will we feel when they start hacking conservative sites just because they disagree with our message?
Coca-Cola will die when Ebt is prohibited from purchasing it.
Coke is right. If we all had the kinds of jobs that people had when the recipe for Coke was made, we'd all be skinny.
Back then people were 15,000 kcal/day farmers or lumberjacks.
Don't blame Coke for people's ass-sitting, cubicle dwelling lifestyle (sic).
For that matter, should Subway attempt to rename their footlong sub "the Jared"?
The information could have been obtained by perusing one of the bosses computers when they were not there.
If ( for example) a computer was down and only that computer and the boss’ computer had a needed program installed.
The evidence seized in the first case came from a workplace computer, so this would be a reasonable conjecture.
Before 1955, Coke was sold in 6.5 oz bottles - about 75 calories a bottle. That might make a difference as well...
She was an employee and claims 2 meetings with management over it....
If this is true ,Subway is done
Coke and Subway will recover.
Ashley Madison is toast. Not that anyone cares.
I think the part that will hurt Ashley Madison the most is the revelation that 95% of their users are males!
What a bunch of chumps!
