Sugar Daddy

“PepsiCo brought a vending machine stocked with Quaker bars, Naked juices and reduced-fat Doritos. Unilever showcased Hellmann’s spreads and offered samples of Breyer’s ice cream. Nestle displayed bottled water, Nesquik chocolate drinks and Butterfingers candies. A Sugar Association pamphlet suggested sprinkling sugar on vegetables for picky children.” And this was at a conference for nutritionists. (I know it worked out when you got your chocolate in my peanut butter, but this is ridiculous.) From AP: Do candy and soda makers belong at a dietitians’ conference?

+ Stat: Nutritionists built close ties with the food industry. Now they’re seeking some distance.
