Superfood pseudoscience
Eating some food is good,
Eating others is bad,
Some food we've had for centuries,
And some just before twas had.
Superfoods made an entry,
Promising a quick fix cure.
It asked we keep aside,
The food we've had for centuries.
To promise this claims were made,
With conviction and pseudoscience,
Or with some silly industry,
Maybe even some stupid doctors.
I did not follow these trends,
Because their advice made no sense,
And when my wife asked me to atleast try,
I said nonsense and went back to my fries.

Building brand loyalty
Brand loyalty is one of those hard nuts to crack. But when you do, people advocate vociferously for you. It’s the promised nirvana — one where customers fight your fights. Brand advocates come in two shapes. One stickier than the other. One conscious, and deliberate, the other fa...
