The maker of Frito-Lay chips and Pepsi drinks announced several nutrition goals Monday at the start of a two-day investor conference. And I'm guessing that it's a little more than a nudge of a threat that the government will soon be taxing the living hell out of their products which will resemble the days of Big Tobacco.
The company also set two goals for the next 10 years: to cut the average added sugar per serving by 25 percent and saturated fat per serving by 15 percent, in addition to adding more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy into its array of products. Don't worry, 25 percent is still over 12 teaspoons of High Fructose Corn Syrup in a Pepsi Can.
