The aboriginal Australians have survived thousands of years on what they call a hunter gather diet. The diet consists of emu, lizards, moths, kangaroo and snakes as well as berries, roots and honey which are referred as ‘bush tucker’. Seafood also had a big part in aboriginal culture, which most of the sea life was caught with spears and hooks made from branches, rocks etc. When the British settlers came in 1770 they unfortunately didn’t like or understand the aboriginal diet.

After providing the British public with breakfast for years, it most certainly has a larger customer loyalty base. The strong brand makes it easy for product launching as the public are already familiar with the brand. However, introducing a new product comes with its challenges and risks. Looking at the ratios, Kellogg’s has a current ratio to date of 1:1.1 . This in financial terms rings alarm bells as it shows that the company will struggle to pay its short term obligations.
