Nestle wants to become largest provider of 'extreme nutrition'

In what could be considered to be a watershed moment in the world of mass-produced foods, Swiss junk food giant Nestle has announced that it will become the world's leading producer of "extreme nutrition" and will focus efforts in that area as it tries to become a major player in the lives of millions who are finally recognizing that nutrition is the key to health.

In a way, this is good news for many of us who default to junk and processed foods in a hurried lifestyle, then wonder why we develop diseases and other maladies which are probably connected to what we eat. Remember -- garbage in, garbage out.

Can Nestle really turn on the resources to become one of the world's largest players in good nutrition that actually helps the body instead of just satisfying taste buds with salt, fat and sugar? That's anyone's guess, but I for one will be watching closely.
