OT: Can Burt’s Bees Turn Clorox Green? (profit over quality)

[Guest guest]

Well,

 

So that's what's been going on with them. I've been noticing an odd

substation of ingredients when I read their labels at the store.

Perhaps they were replacing things to increase their bottom line prior

to make the sale more plausible.

 

While the people negotiating the deal may be very sincere about

maintaining quality, in my experience it's just a matter of time

before some whipper snapper convinces the corporate board they can

make more money if they substitute this and that for quality

ingredients. And it's a matter of time before profits push out

quality. As the corporate board doesn't understand or care why almond

oil is better than say soy or corn oil they are to serve the

shareholders. They shareholders really just want to make money -

that's why they buy a stock or mutual fund.

 

It kinda sad. So it seems they will go the same way as the Body Shop,

Ben and Jerry's, Snapple etc.
