what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallowness. some weight sold again had the scale say the change oh you don't like the sacred as sacred as the break investor put in on your plate and give them a kiss or so to time text to break into their right hand by 1st place frank i want to play a role in helping to raise the awareness of the american people about the impact of these drugs called sugar on the mental and physical wellbeing of our communities. don't say i'm addicted to

master william i'm more of an delman coats at mount annan baptist church in clinton maryland are suing coca-cola and the american beverage association. writers do this . the warhead moved to the courtroom delman coat stand to sic the law on the coca-cola corporation. we know that the consumption of sugar in these products exceed the american heart association what are you asking for from coca-cola well what do you want this company when you want coca-cola to end their deceptive marketing practices they have spent $120000000.00 in 5 years between 201-2015 falsely advertise. as in the product. the multinational retaliated by accusing the

pastors of freedom of speech violations. and after suing for legal expenses a threat worth several $1000000.00 coca-cola now demands that the case be dropped. coca-cola statement. the allegations here are likewise legally and factually 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 went the press and made statements like there is no link between sugar sweetened beverages. that is not the case. whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark it adopts the same line of defense

just. had to explain. to me. it's a. complete. us. the rhetoric is so small that it seems like a broken record. just because some researchers you know have shown between the consumption of sugary beverages and business and visiting. with that amount the. lowest. energy questions we meant different researchers many of them have a fight against the consumption of sugar. of tobacco what do you. know.

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 on studies it dislikes finances favorable research and political leaders. to ensure those results contact was established within the senate we will actively campaign. to register that a soft drink 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 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 or new york times that. people see.

and it does expect. sugary drinks fast foods causing all these health problems i mean look at that which you just look at. the times revealed that between 20082015 steve blair had received over 3 and 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. junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter law. just lation 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're consuming in one can of soda they stop and they think so we had testimony right here in this chamber of doctors of nurses 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 the 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 to one me a break i can decide what to buy without government help the government is just getting too involved in our personal lives tell the community government is to. 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 street 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 along limiting the size of jumbo so those sold in restaurants. bloomberg was mocked as a scolding and the courts ruled in the industries favor. in this faceoff between corporate freedom and consumer protection freedom 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. that was just really hard to accept. in. 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 to people to die. and if it means changing policies. 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 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 conquered. by the pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. as america. we don't have the facts seem. to. come in every crisis with this system things. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping

us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. smoke why don't they couldn't put them in mud the one who's been brought up the influence you know them both got a lot of photos and stuff to get a. lot of

thought up but. i think. she really is or was he making. more of the. jungle bar from the sun on my book you go to the british course that's enough of them. i mean you got. to take. today 73 percent of the population is obese or overweight 10 percent have diabetes which has become the primary cause of death. that can show them in the store making. the consuming.

sugary imperialists attack one of mexico's greatest treasures its cuisine valued by unesco as part of our world heritage. different us cubans do the schedule thing the poor seem. to think of course can use. to make you cook or you me made you. they put their green. arrows there for me that you're. giving me now to put out to the police to put on nothing else. each mexican drinks a whopping $144.00 quarts of soda per year on the average a world record. is really junk food imperialism

where you know it's big western countries going spreading their job throughout the world and obviously they've been welcomed with open arms it's cheap in style used to be convenient what's not to like. at the corner grocery store an apple costs more than a bottle of coke. is the folk income that i'm most and let the. last seemed to ask why they must say to my. battle they ass a. mental state of the love yet that me he got. to meet us but is very. jealous bay must think of a scheme not dead look the internet spits on mass forces by in the us dept. i meant that. in a country that elected

a former coca-cola executive to the presidency challenging the food industry might appear to be impossible but not for a $100.00 kind of. this double check everything that's a good idea it's a good they're trying it's easy for you shut up or you can get a bit of each other over to go. to where they don't really care that the leadership outrage over here for. a small consumer advocacy group at the un to organize the resistance. he found a precious ally within the health ministry itself simon back at a researcher in nutrition. gave that interest just be honest i don't think it is the. economy who is going to win.

it took 11 years of fierce struggle battling censors who rejected clip after clip before the researcher and the activist finally succeeded in taxing sodas and junk food in mexico. it was the 1st soda tax in north america. as i do them watchable. so they mustered out one medal and they. call. it a soul they sit in the middle of the radicals and what if it's. encouraged by the success of the tax 20 associations join the effort led by kevin to you and back era they demanded a nutritional labeling system and they also hope to raise the tax from 10 to 20 percent. apparently these demands were unacceptable to mysterious nameless opponents.

your disagreements argument therefore no one is. giving you. joy you said cleek in this how do you. see me i would feel. their left is hit by the idea they make the call. goes as joy when i mean. cmon. nobody they me. and the woman. in the last big. state is it that you see you don't think. simon your daughter is just had an accident it is very serious come quickly she's been taken here if see him because i am more chill then me familia and. simon you fool while you're at work i sleep with your old lady here's the photo.

just a little saying b i don't know you don't toss. out a kid i was his famous panache big ass was already in place. in the show what do you care when this was just a mess i don't. mean but i can buy peter dreaming or going to. see him bought a sister i will give you. can go in there and with that he say would i mean. to do. all. this to get a bill that doris. police are still trying to identify the suspect who sent these threatening text. it was the level of viciousness was way beyond what they've done before they have attacked us in the media they have attacked with 2 other scholars but they had

never done something to threaten our children to threaten our families to do what they did in mexico that was a new level of attack. in the end the tax increase failed and the bottled mineral water veronica buys at the corner store costs more than a bottle of some guy was. killing . well over this. week he sold. a week. during. 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 the 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 if you. don't go. and it's obvious. i mean. this photo we won't. know what they're going to be 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 bomb agribusiness dreads most. and i said i'm going to be misleading men to come in there see if you can. see that real estate is how you would be one of them going to the middle. of it then it would. simply be for a matter of your. going to see that it will. it would be to. get a young woman your say so i knew. that it. was going to seal. off well then don't get it but i'm going to leave is that the little doubt in with you know you know. you need to she just. doesn't get it this planet isn't and clearly yes i can assure goodish yes discerning will say yes on that i

live that is looked at that was limited the boy in memphis. you know we were sitting on. move within it will be celebrating soon. you know i think up or to see another you should know where that it will be sitting there in it no point in it whoops within this just know within it are going to foresee that you'll know where the native bit of a goes into winter but i mean you'll find 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 were to pull up but those who profess to know they just will keep on us for this we'll the if in selling things to your you that's what mean you and he said bill for those. who come in our books i'm going to new what you boys will do go from pursued and move them to the group of. the industry argued that the legislation would be ineffective and would penalize the poor but

only 2 years after when to effect a virtuous circle for. in the event of all that i felt more laughs about killing gentle having of the child about the beggarly coming impulse. that enabled to get me money sick i mean to. see on a farm or now. i think i love it about one example if i suppose the least of them get. enough money 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 up in the community that is the 1st time we've seen the

glimmer of a country that might change the norms toward healthy eating. to chill a in 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 and its new president and congress have just passed new they're 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 a sparely 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 stimulate close of play to i always say. it's dash. into the hall. because i mean i'll go. back there will be

a talk. to you see is another winning strategy for corporate interests in germany has been to play the role that allies in the fight against obesity. this commercial produced by a supermarket chain promises a commitment to promoting healthy foods to help children make their dreams come true. but is it really wise to trust the industry. and you look at least i do put it not me a lot of. people need to clear dismissed bob get as especially i'm not fussy about as i am as it was it must be not so and does the same goddamn by step clint's one so over at least it is. does hurt him to go in the dusty virchow after him on his ash back and. does much have to shit in 2001 also who i give added benefits goes on

type here but. the german government counts on the industries the. realty to regulate itself it does not impose either taxes on sugary beverages or restrictions on advertising. yeah botanists my toes and filters to both of you and mention it to be a just a spend my time it's a had a heisman. this is time not to show.
