Modern life

Abdullah Al Mazid, On e-mail
A terrible irony of modern world is that while millions of people are trying desperately to get enough to eat and face illness or death from malnourishment there are millions of others who are trying just as desperately to eat less and avoid illness or death from overeating. That is how you find the dieticians advising the affluent with diet charts. The gyms with all sorts of equipments for body toning and an in-house dietician and advisor are thriving on advising people how to be fit and trim.

Considering the above marketers must be alert enough to introduce food supplements or exercise equipments to cater to this affluent segment of society. Their terminology and differentiation must look genuine for the consumer so that the products are used with customer confidence.

It is tough call for marketers because most profitable food lines have tended to be the most highly processed and least healthy. But as prosperity and awareness increase consumers and public authorities are looking for foods that combine immediate sensual pleasure with long-term benefits.

There is a saying “there never has been ----there is not now--- and there never will be any boss but the customer. He is the one boss you must please. He buys your home, your cloths your cars; He paid for your vacation and puts your children through school. He will give you every promotion you will ever obtain during your lifetime ----and he will discharge you if you displease him. Everything depends on how you treat this boss
