8:32 pm
meritless and we will vigorously defend against them. the allegations are that coca-cola misled. out the science of sugar sweetened beverages because several of their executives with the press made statements like there is no link between sugar sweetened beverages and. that is not the case. whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark it adopts the same line of defense just gonna be hard to explain. to me. it's a. complete. the rhetoric is so small that it seems like a broken record. just because some research shows you know have shown
8:33 pm
between their consumption of sugary beverages and visiting. with that amount the. lowest. energy questions we meant different researchers many of them the fight against the consumption of sugary beverage of tobacco what do you. know. for 20 years the soft drink industry has denied any link between its products and disease to maintain the illusion it employs all sorts of methods. since 2015 leaks has revealed that the lobby puts pressure on journalists keeps discredit studies it dislikes finances favorable research and hob nobs with political leaders
8:34 pm
. to ensure this results contact was established within the senate we will actively campaign to register that it's. offering tax is discriminatory regressive and will not address the challenge of obesity we have commissioned the economic institute to complete a study which will prove the inefficiency of such tax it will be ready in 15 days which will give us another tool to communicate both to the media and to avoid it gains ground within the party called the new york times that. people see. and it does expect. sugary drinks fast food causing all these health problems i mean look at that which is just a look at. the times revealed that between 20082015 steve blair had received over 3 and
8:35 pm
a half $1000000.00 in research funding from coca-cola. appointed to serve as a scientific expert by the city and county of san francisco dean she must untangle the truth from falsehood when we did the analysis of these studies we found that every study that found that there was no association between sugary beverage consumption and obese in diabetes was funded in some way by the industry. whereas among all the studies that found that there was an association between the consumption of soda and sugary beverages and obese and diabetes except for one were independently funded so we now know and there's other evidence that industry has been. influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment to create controversy over the question of whether their products cause disease.
8:36 pm
junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter legislation. to protect consumers the battle has now become political. in the 30 years since warning labels and other forms of regulation were placed on tobacco. over 1000000000 the lives have been saved thanks it's a pretty good day at the office for people who make policy. illegal cohen and one of her fellow supervisors have made san francisco the 1st u.s. city to declare war on sugary sodas. when people realize how much sugar they are consuming in one can of soda they stop and they think so we had testimony right here in this chamber of doctors of nurses
8:37 pm
of researchers that talk to us about the effects of sugar in our body and it was through these ongoing dialogues for years that we came up with that idea to begin to tax. imposing a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states. industry reached its sad speech the line that the government was interfering with grocery shoppers feeding a family is difficult enough in today's economy now some politicians want the government telling me how i should do it they want to put new taxes i'm on a grocery side by the beverage the sugary beverage and history came out they hired lawyers they hired lobbyists they found people within the community to come out and say please don't tell us what to eat or what to drink this is not a nanny state we want to make decisions on our own they spent millions of dollars as a matter of fact they outspent us almost $6.00 to $1.00 to me a break i can decide what to buy without government help the government is just
8:38 pm
getting too involved in our personal lives tell the community government is to to image both public. health advocates were able to mobilize citizen protests against the recalcitrant industry we're going to. this bad doctors and politicians lining up outside of san francisco city hall framing the sugar sweetened beverage debate as the people versus big soda you no longer can sit back and let a big show to end a streak target and hurt our community. the tax was finally voted in but the victory was bitter. when san francisco moved to require health warnings on soda containers like the ones on cigarettes the soft drink lobby sued once again and won on appeal. the warning labels were shelved. the same method had been used in new york city mayor michael bloomberg suggested
8:39 pm
along limiting the size of jumbo so those sold in restaurants. bloomberg was mocked as a scolding ninny and the courts ruled and the industry's favor. in this faceoff between corporate freedom and consumer protection. once again seemed to be the private property of the most powerful i represent a part of san francisco that was emigrate people people who speak english as a 2nd language people who live in subsidized housing public housing tenements and the one thing that we all had in common was that we were dying from preventable diseases dying. and you know.
8:40 pm
i was just really hard to accept. seem like. people didn't care the industry didn't care they continue to target. their money and their resources to get people addicted. so that. they become wealthier. so. what brings me to this entire conversation. is that. i don't want people to die. and if it means changing policy. just changing educating people so that they are aware of the choices that they have in bringing more choices to people then that's what i'm about that's what i'm fighting for and we can at least
8:41 pm
sit by and let them kill us. so. that's why i'm involved. in the world because the markets no longer were growing in europe in the u.s. so coke and pepsi and all the clones all the local companies that do the same thing exploded in marketing and in the low and middle income countries. mexico was the 1st country to be colonized by these agribusiness conquerors. will those who would be most impacted by having unrealized gains tax the so-called
