People who says that "obese people should change their lifestyle", be quite, invest your money in related companies, sit back and see it grow.
Let the people who wants eat a lot, eat a lot, so they spend money on food companies, then when they get sick, they spend money on drug companies. You can't change them by telling them, might as well profit off them.
Immoral ?
Well, what are the governments doing all over the world ? Aren't they supposed to be the one protecting their citizens ? Not just from harm of war, but harm from companies as well.

Sony offers flexible work schedules for pregnant women
Doesn't matter. All the CEOs I've met eagerly do this, the problem is other women and their women superior. Pregnant women are bullied, because when she takes leave, other career-oriented women would "hate" her for covering for her. Women middle managers are especially the worst.

Japan is great for old people, they get to enjoy peaceful live in prison for snuffing out children's live. Government won't do anything, because they're the voters.

Killer deals all and all, Japanese domestic food are superb quality and still cheaper than most anywhere else in the world.

Posted in: What is the most effective way to eradicate the sale and possession of child porn? See in context
You can't eradicate it, unless there's a coordinated effort for it.
Swamp the market with AI generated stuffs, if it's a video, in the middle of it a mutilated ghost suddenly appear on the screen. With how fast AI can generate images and videos these days, good luck finding an "original" one.
Put a tracker in the AI generated files, so we can track the history of IP addresses of computers that the file has been stored, downloaded, uploaded.
Catch them, suppliers and consumers, put their names and pictures on public servers everyone can see. No, if you intend to hurt children, you don't get the rights or privileges of "privacy".

LOL, do you mean the Australia who sells coals to the Japan who loves to build new coal-power plants all over Asia ? Japan's argument is basically "our new coal plan is cleaner, if you replace all your old plants with our new plants, we'll be reducing CO2!". I mean, makes sense, but the CO2 from building new plants would probably not be even out by the reduction for X years, by then the "new" plants have become "old.

Posted in: What do you think of the amount of compensation in the form of salary, bonuses and stock options that are paid to top execs of multinational corporations? See in context
CEOs convince the peasants that their labor is not what makes the company lots of money for the people who own the company. Not an easy skill I'd say. The more you can convince the peasants how replaceable they are, the more money for the shareholders. What shareholders wouldn't pay CEOs the money they "deserve" ?
Solution ? If peasants can make lots of money for the shareholders without the overtly-glorified-middle-manager known as CEOs, the shareholders would be super happy to get rid of them! (There are very successful worker coop companies in the world, fyi).
Too bad though, most peasants are sheep, can't accomplish anything without their lords' directions.
