Studies have shown that obese, fat people can cost companies more for health care costs than smokers. So Scott's should fire people that are above the recommended weights for their age and height?
How about people that have very high cholesterol levels?
Show them the door!!
Diabetes, out the door you go too!!
A lot of these are caused by what people eat or don’t eat, exercise or lack of, etc.
So fire them all, their going to raise health care costs for Scotts. Get rid of them

The hypocrisy of Scott's, is that they have products, fertilizers, weed killers, etc, that do much damage to the environment, lakes, ponds, rivers, waterways, etc.
There are complete dead zone waters that are in most part caused by runoffs of Scott's and other manufacturers products.

Also their advertising, to get rid of weeds and dandelions so you can have a nice looking lawn,
is just trying to hook you into buying their products. Who cares if there is a weed or two?
What else are you killing by applying that stuff to your lawn.
Would you apply these weed killers and then put your baby on the lawn to play?
Besides, there are so many other natural and safe ways to boost your lawn's health and appearance than resorting to Scotts chemicals

And their number one threat to your lawn, the Dandelion is a very nutritional plant.
The greens are high in vitamin A in the form of antioxidant carotenoid and vitamin C
Dandelion greens are more nutritious than spinach.
Good points
No cholesterol
Low in saturated fat
Very high in calcium, dietary fiber, iron , manganese, potassium, riboflavin
thiamin, vitamin A , vitamin B6, vitamin E

High in magnesium and phosphorus
Dandelion root contains inulin, which lowers blood sugar in diabetics.
I have been eating them all my life.
We grow the big leafy Italian variety in our garden and pick them in the spring from areas we know are not sprayed, stem them, put some olive oil on them with a slight squeeze of fresh lemon!

So if I worked for Scott's, they would probably fire me because I eat the very thing they are trying to destroy.
HaHaHa

Bottom Line, Scotts is totally hypocritical
