Unilever, the owner by acquisition of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, is also the owner, by acquisition, of Slim Fast, a company that makes and sells dietary supplements. The founders of both companies were Jewish, both enormously successful financially, and both made edibles. But one purports to get you slim, fast, and the other one gets you (without directly advertising the fact) fat, fast. The Unilever business has one mission – to be profitable, whether supporting or opposing healthy eating.
