Dear Mr. Sprout:I think Quincunx had a lot to say about your ideas for vegetarian fare at McDonald's but there's a few things that you don't seem to pay attention to. First of all, trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange says a lot about your business acumen. Personally, I wouldn't touch anyone who trades on the Vancouver Stock Exchange with a ten-foot pole.
It's simply too full of unethical traders and all one has to do is look at the mainstream business press and look at all the scams that have been going on there for a very long time. If I did trade on the Vancouver Stock Exchange I sure wouldn't tell anybody. My business reputation would be tarnished and that would be the end of it.
Next, you've been openly floating your marketing ideas on this board and that is simply not good. What you've done is give away (at no cost)
what could have been a very novel idea.You have failed to take into consideration shipping and storage costs for vegetarian foodstuffs not to mention the fact that the shelf life of many vegetarian products (especially tofu) do not make it economically sound. Not even in the most ideal market. There is also a tendency for tofu based products to go bad and that would require much more stringent regulations than what are currently in place right now. That would then mean more government regulation would it not?
Thirdly, you have shown that you cannot keep a trade secret and if you were working for me I would have to say this: You're fired.
