Nutritionists wary of Buffett's portfolio
He is adding to his investment more food brands regarded by many as junk food

His move on Wednesday to inject Velveeta cheese, Jell-O, Lunchables, Oscar Mayer wieners, and Kool-Aid into his portfolio, stuffs an already amply supplied larder. The additions came from the acquisition of Kraft Foods Group by HJ Heinz Co, which is controlled by 3G Capital and Mr Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
