establishment to create controversy over the question of whether their products cause disease. the 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. to lead a colon 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 should. they're consuming in one can of soda they stop
12:34 am
and they think so we had testimony right here in this chamber of doctors of nurses of researchers that talked to us about the effects of sugar in our body and it was through these ongoing dialogues for years that we came up with an idea to begin to tax sugary beverages. imposing a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states the industry reached its ads pitch the line that the government was interfering with grocery shoppers. in 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

12:37 am
diseases dying. and you know. it was just really hard to accept. and it seemed like. people didn't care the industry didn't care they continued to target. their money and their resources to get people addicted so that. they become wealthier. so. what brings me to this entire conversation. it's that. i don't want people to die. and if it means changing policies. just changing educating people so
12:38 am
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 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.

12:48 am
than a bottle of soda was no city. was living. through this. in the sort of. the week. the revolution came from a country at america's southern tip chile despite the fact that for 30 years it has been the darling of free market enthusiastic p. anti obesity movement is led by a senator. for years he has been fighting to dislodge his people from their rank as 3rd world wide in overweight and obesity. you know. you. don't go. and it's obvious. that if you
12:49 am
got shortness i mean. this but oh we won't be. long with them then we'll go through this we're going to put. in the past several years. a former pediatrician has attracted the industry's ire he has been a fearless crusader in public health protection. first he prayed to billionaire president sebastian pinera official veto then he had to overcome the industry's campaign to denigrate him. finally the law passed in 2016 it was the type of song agribusiness dreads most. bittersweet i'm. not going to be mislead him into a mistake you can. see that real estate is what he wanted them to be made of
12:50 am
a singularly. simply for the matter of your. going to see that it will. it took you to. get a young woman your say son you. are. going to steal. that well then don't get it i don't you know at least that the little of that in with you now you know. you need to seek it out why doesn't get it fixed when it isn't and clearly yes i think the national guard is discerning will see us all now i live that is look at that possibility declared in memphis. you know we will see if you don't go well. look we've been able to sell it in the. you know i think up or to see another you should know where that it will be sitting there in
12:51 am
it no point in it whoops nope within the digits no within it are going to foresee that you will know where the net goes into when to put a side on you don't decide you know who to be with but just to be in the precinct and you'll say you're going to be rich swindled of being who you would have pulled up but those who profit from not they just will keep on us for this when you they if in selling things to your you that sort of mean you eat somewhere said bill for those. who come in. to new what. do you go from pursuit a lot of them to that group of. the industry argued that the legislation would be ineffective and would penalize the poor but only 2 years after it would into effect a virtuous circle for. the set of a mammal. in the novel that i find more laps about killing dead a hobby of the child about the beggarly coming impulse even it i would. that get me
12:52 am
money sick i think about. the order for more now. i think i love it when it seems so if i suppose the least that i'm that. going to say you have a textbook. chemical. when that same 18 month we saw a 25 percent reduction and purchases of sugary beverages and shoulder. that's unprecedented and we're seeing large reductions of all the ultra processed junk foods as well as within that community that is the 1st time we've seen the glimmer of a country that might change the norms toward healthy eating. the chilean food revolution has inspired action in neighboring countries peru has instituted the same labels and uruguay is about to do so and dramatically mexico is joining them
12:53 am
and its new president and congress have just passed new the just lation requiring the same kind of labeling rice chili with my job. on the other side of the atlantic the contrast is striking europe's nutri score labeling is fairly tenet compared to the black labels in chile only a few countries have adopted it and it is not even mandatory. but is a need to stevia close of play to just sale. it will get. into the hall idea. because i mean i'll go. back there will be a talk. to see you soon another winning strategy for corporate interests in germany has been to play the role of allies in the fight against obesity. this commercial produced by a supermarket chain promises
12:54 am
a commitment to promoting healthy foods to help children make their dreams come true. but is it really wise to trust the industry. in a villa and look at least an idea and tsunami a bit of salt to put it to clear dismissed bob get as especially i'm not fussy about as i'd as it was it was to not to and does the same goddamn but i step claimants who won so what should at least as. it does hurt him to go in a dusty virchow after him on his ash dock and. does much have to shit doesn't it. who aggravated when it's goes on type here but. the german government counts on the industries the bill. need to regulate itself it does not impose either taxes on sugary beverages or restrictions on advertising.
12:55 am
yeah botanists high tolls and protests personal you would mention it just to spend it and it's hard to. come out to show. because i was going on the phone line smoke i don't like coming suddenly made in
12:56 am
the money's been brought up on bloomfield demos done well so it doesn't just get a. lot of fun but i just let it get as. she was you make it. more serious or. gentle but from the sun on my book you go to the british of course there's enough of them around. i mean the guy did that and of course that doesn't bother me at the. mall to. pick up. to take. in 2040. no bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or
12:57 am

12:59 am
really i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. but the pandemic no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. you. know so much we don't come with the we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be. judged. commentary crisis with this system to times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges grateful to response has been so many good people
