Give yourself a round of applause. We're winning the war against junk

food manufacturers! Kraft Foods, a company that I would categorize as

the largest junk food / processed food manufacturer in the world (also

owned by a tobacco company, by the way) has just announced it's

slashing jobs and closing manufacturing plants. A whopping 8,000 jobs,

to be exact.

 

That's good news for the health of Americans, because it means fewer

factories are churning out disease-promoting junk foods. Overeducated,

misguided economists would argue with that, screaming about the loss

of jobs. But what good is a job if the resulting product worsens the

quality of life of consumers? We could boost the national economy, I

suppose, by hiring people to throw dirt in the air, but it doesn't

make anyone richer or more abundant. It's not the jobs that matter,

but what the jobs are producing. And Kraft Foods, apparently, missed

the boat on rolling out healthy foods. Trans fat free Oreo cookies

don't count.

 

I have a recovery plan for Kraft that doesn't even require a million

dollar fee to fast-talking business consultants: try making foods that

don't shorten the lifespan of your customers and you might discover a

more reliable revenue stream.
