This one might seem to be a little farfetched, but it is an excellent example of both economics and reductionism issues I addressed somewhere else here:
Unilever should focus on making profit, and by doing so, sell smaller doses, although these are worse for people and planet... Profit above all!

(this is a positive one: there won't be enough space for all of us to live if we keep building this large. Wait, is it positive? Or is it merely sad?)

(this is a change! It used to be "there is no difference"... I wonder whether in this the - marginally small, I admit - effect of this such as effect on ecology, water, resource depletion, and the likes on one's health have been incorporated. I wonder who paid for the research this time. But do keep eating your spayed veggies! More for me, at lower price!)

(Now that is a good idea: While the entire world is going into more and more stress, over water, resources, pollution, land loss, etc. ... let us sell more guns! Like every American in the kuweit war getting killed by American bullets, either by friendly fire, either by bullets supposed to kill evil Iranians...)
