“The CEO of Coca Cola’s 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.
Nailed it with regard to Subway.
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).
Coke and Subway will recover.
Ashley Madison is toast. Not that anyone cares.
