There are many ways we could do this, the best thing would probably be to test it on a few categories where we feel it may be very useful. We could have a healthier category alternative, and a more environmentaly friendly alternative category.

So if take flavored syrups, an healthier alternative might be flavoured waters (hopefully less sugar), but from an environmental perspective, the syrup + tap water is best, so we could do the reverse suggestion on flavoured waters :)

Let's start with 1 or 2 broad categories where we can make useful suggestions. e.g. ham, beef patties etc.
