other than highlight the fact that we have a poor sense of social responsibility and cleanliness, what does this project hope to convey?
Arvind
it will convince frito lay to produce better packaging (camouflaged or biodegradable or both). once they are convinced and as they set about this task they will have an epiphany and stop producing chips and other salty fats altogether. the firm will grow a gigantic conscience and enter into a cathartic social contract to repent for spreading trash on the ground and in the human body (mainly under the skin). they will sell the assets of the firm and distribute the money to the poorest families. a new kind of competition will be introduced in the market. firms will compete to make less money. goldman as usual will be at the top of the game (or is it bottom). the author of the project will win many prizes but will always regret not having some crunchy salty fats to lay into.
**&^%&^&^%^%%$$# you anonymous.
"Highlighting the fact that we have a poor sense of social responsibility and cleanliness" is a good enough reason right ?
Also put pressure on Frito Lay and similiar companies to consider the negative externalities of their businesses and do something to remedy it.
your time, your energy. so the worst reasons are good enough - i am sure you are doing the math. although you will need something more powerful than plain calculus to calculate the delta effects here (maybe a math of zen? or denial?).
Dude,
"negative externalities of their business" ??
Why not direct the blame where it is due, which in the right order is in
( a ) the consumers lack of responsibility
( b ) your mega idiotic socialistic government which rapes the country and does not deem it appropriate to educate its people
If suppliers are held responsible for irresponsible acts of the consumers, then you should blame Bajaj for every scooter accident and blame Enrico Fermi for Chernobyl.

" "negative externalities of their business" ??" ???!!!" pals?
the very existence of frito lay is a sizable negative externality for society. no?
or should we exercise our constitutional freedoms to eat chips? and trans fats?
Frito lay exits because society wants it. Unlike you I dont claim to know what society needs, So I cannot view Frito Lays existance as a negative externality.
I agree that lack of individual responsibility towards society is an epidemic. But this has been virulent in India ever since my childhood. I wont blame Frito Lay for that. I would apportion blame as in my previous comment.
Arvind
amazingly and frustratingly naive.
frito lay's birth may be consistent with society's demand. but you will agree that this does not mean that every product and corporate action thereafter is because "people want it". and certainly frito lay's continued existence can just be a result of inertia.
you brush aside the enormous approximations in the so-called "market determined" capitalistic system. even with all the in-your-face evidence.
you rail the chicago school. and yet you are their poster child.
No, if people dont want Frito Lay anymore, they would simply stop eating their stuff.
Dude, you are way better at grouping people and dissing the group than you are at providing well reasoned arguments. Name calling is a fashionable way to waste time, but doesnt prove anything.
Your blaming Frito lays for people in India lacking cleanliness and social responsibility, doesnt even meet the most elementary of empirical tests. Since people in India largely showed no responsibility toward the environment either before or after Frito Lay entered the market there, how can you ascribe any blame to Frito Lay for the littering.
I bet you would shut up if some Govt made plant made chips and people dumped packages all over the place.
Arvind
name calling? reasoned arguments?
you surely deserve the one and not the other. here is where it all completely and in well-deserved fashion falls off the deep end.
idiots like you (the name calling again!) deserve a well-reasoned argument about alternatives to your system (sic!), as much as a redneck deserves an explanation that god did not create the world in 6 days 6000 years ago. and an equal amount of good it will do too.
you *do not* even understand the implications of your own dogma. dude. seriously. that is like so sarah palin man.
