Coca Cola and Hershey have both posted significant first-quarter losses: Coca Cola's first quarter net income fell by 47%, while Hershey Co.'s first-quarter net fell 32%. Does that mean that Americans are developing better dietary habits?
The Wall Street Journal article blamed the higher commodity costs and the economy, however, I tend to think that Americans are becoming more educated about diet and nutrition and we are starting to see that trend in cold, hard numbers.
What do you think?
