Big drug dealers have a simple strategy. Sell a highly addictive, high-margin, readily available product in mass to low-income neighborhoods. Example: Frank Lucas, heroin, and Harlem, NY. He claimed to earn $1 million dollars per day.
Big Food has a simple strategy, too. Sell a highly addictive, high-margin, readily available product in mass to low-income neighborhoods. Example: Irene Rosenfeld of Mondelēz (formally Kraft Foods), Oreo Cookies, and Mobile, Alabama. She makes $28 million dollars per year.
That we perceive the former at any differently than the latter makes me want to do drugs.
Good thing there’s a 7-11 across the street.
