Take This, All Of You, and Diet

Taking a page from Unilever, Nestle is making their first major diet-company acquisition, purchasing Jenny Craig for $600MM. What's next? McDonalds acquiring Nutri-System?

Unilever, as you may know, owns the formerly-granola-and-now-sold-out Ben & Jerry's ice cream brand and other tasty snacks, but also owns Slim-Fast and apparently bought up some rights to Phytofarm's hoodia extract. I hear hoodia goes well with spam.
