Yeah, kind of a bad business model to wean your dieters off all your products, but a nice mission from an ethical standpoint.
This looked like a Canada only product for now.
Perhaps IP is going in the direction of Healthwise and Proti in starting to market products to cancer patients that need to gain weight or need an easily digestible source of calories (although the use of artificial sweenters for that subgroup is questionable to me) as well as diet patients looking for meal replacement for ease of compliance, or just trying to get their products used for many different medical situations.
I had this pollyanna view that IP was a stepping stone to getting people back to eating whole (unprocessed/minimally processed) foods. Unfortunately, if that were wildly successful, they couldn't stay in business. Unless they opened a bunch of restaurants that served meals following the phases. How cool would that be?
