Vegetarian Star

PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi is vegetarian.

So is the fact that she runs a company known for its sugar high and salty good times an oxymoron?

Nooyi told CNN’s Money that ultimately consumers have the responsibility to know when enough is enough and if they all exercised, obesity wouldn’t exist.

“If I look at our portfolio, I think you can classify them into three groups: “fun-for-you foods” like Pepsi, Doritos, Lays, and Mountain Dew, “better-for-you” products like Diet Pepsi, PepsiMax, Baked Lays, Sobi Life Water, Propel, all of these products, and “good-for-you” products like Quaker, Tropicana, Naked Juice, Gatorade,” Nooyi said.

So guess the idea is lay off the fun-for-you foods and devour the good-for-you ones.

Now, if only the vending machines would stock more oatmeal and Naked Juice.

Still, you have to give PepsiCo credit for making a huge change to its products seven years ago without adding the costs to consumers when it banned all trans fat.

Maybe in a few years we’ll see sodas sweetened with the less addictive cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
