Amazon.com Inc.’s acquisition of Whole Foods is coming at just the right time for Frito-Lay, the snack giant known for Doritos, Ruffles and Funyuns.

The division of PepsiCo Inc. now has versions of 11 core chip brands without artificial ingredients -- including Lay’s, Tostitos and Cheetos -- and it’s aiming to break out of the traditional snack aisle and get into organic grocery stores. The lineup, marketed under the name “Simply,” meets all the criteria needed to be sold in Whole Foods, according to PepsiCo executive Jonathan McIntyre.

It’s all part of a push to build a more healthful reputation for Frito-Lay brands, a significant undertaking at a company famous for bright-orange cheese powder. Natural products are the biggest source of growth for the industry right now, said McIntyre, who oversees research and development for PepsiCo’s snacks. And Frito-Lay sees an opportunity to reach new customers -- and charge higher prices -- by targeting organic-food shoppers.

There’s also more pressure to get a foothold at Whole Foods during a time when Amazon is threatening to upend the supermarket industry. The e-commerce site is using the grocery chain to support its food-delivery business and looks to take market share by cutting prices and integrating online and offline operations. But the big enticement at Whole Foods remains the promise of healthful and wholesome products.

Many men are ditching real life women to have sex, and even relationships, with human-like erotic cyborgs built to spice up the bedroom.These female androids have voluptuous, porn star-style silicone bodies and robotic heads programmed to have multiple personalities, speak and see with “human vision”. One sex robot named Samantha, developed by scientist Dr Sergi Santos, “likes to be touched” and can be purchased for as little as £2,500 online. But there has been a backlash against what Dr Santos claims is a burgeoning sex robot “revolution” sweeping the globe.

In the same way that tobacco and alcohol sales are taxed, Mr Cameron has called on governments to introduce an eye-watering levy on sex robots. The strategist and writer for the Washington DC-based think tank believes a tobacco and alcohol-style tax is a useful mechanism to discourage “abusive conduct”. As it stands cigarettes in the UK are subject to a tax rate equivalent to 16.5% of the retail price, plus £4.16 on a packet of 20. In the US, cigarettes tax rates are set on a state-by-state basis, with Connecticut charging 3.9%, New York 4.4% and Texas 1.41% of the retail price. He said: “There's a serious chance that sex robots will lead to increasingly abusive conduct."
