What I try to think about are all of the positive changes that big businesses have the opportunity to make. I can't find the exact link, but Jillian Michaels (from Biggest Loser fame) said in one of her podcasts that she works with Wal-Mart to implement healthy employee programs. She also mentioned that Wal-Mart accounts for something like 60% of Pepsi Co.'s sales (sorry I can't find a reliable reference right now). If Wal-Mart said to Pepsi, "We want you to use sucralose artificial sweetener in your products. No more aspertame. Otherwise, we don't buy from you," Pepsi would get right on that! That would be a huge change! What if Wal-Mart told companies that they wouldn't buy products made with high-fructose corn syrup? This is a simple example of some of the good that Wal-Mart and other big businesses could make, but there must be others right? And as for being the world's one company? I don't know about that... might be their goal, but I used to think that was Bill Gates' and Microsoft's goal. Then Bill went and retired! :)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes on your way to becoming debt free!lifebloomshttp://profile.typekey.com/lifeblooms/noreply@blogger.com
