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 we want coca-cola to end their deceptive marketing practices they have spent $120000000.00 in 5 years between 201-2015 falsely advertising the product. the multinational retaliated by accusing the pastors of freedom of speech violations. and after suing for legal expenses a threat with 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 were in the press and made statements like there is no link between sugar sweetened beverages and. we know that is not the case. whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark it adopts the same line of defense it's just. hard to explain. to me. it's a. complete sort of it. all . the rhetoric is so small that it seems like a broken record. just because some research shows you know have shown

between their consumption of sugary beverages and visiting. that. different. questions and we meant different researchers many of them compare the fight against the consumption of sugar. 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 on studies it dislikes finances favorable research and with political leaders.

to ensure this results contact was established within the senate we will actively campaign to register that it's. off 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. could. be the policy. and it does extend. sugary drinks fast foods causing all these health problems i mean look at that which is just 'd a 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 schillinger 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. 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. 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 sugary beverages. 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 leave 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 needs to trim its booklet. health advocates were able to mobilize citizen protests against the recalcitrant industry we're going to do. 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

along limiting the size of jumbo so those sold in restaurants. bloomberg was mocked as a scolding ninny and the courts ruled in the industry's 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. it was just really hard to accept. and.

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. to change 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 to tie it up 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.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your style or here i mean your list put video at 3 in

the. school a needle in the former ukrainian president recalls the events of $24.00 g. and. those who took. invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. today 73 percent of the population is obese or overweight 10 percent have diabetes which has become the primary cause of death. due to a. consuming to. the sugar imperialists attacked one of mexico's greatest treasures its cuisine valued by unesco as part of our world heritage. the fruit us even to the schedule during the

course and. can use. to make you. or you me made you. toast their brain. is giving me now to put out. good 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. or you know it's big western countries going spreading their jobs throughout the world and obviously they've been welcomed with open arms it's cheap instead 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 lothian. last seen those 3 asked by the lasater. they ass a. mental stuff they love yet that me he got. to meet us but is very. jealous bay must think of a scheme not dead look the internet speed is so nasty way in the us dept the. argument 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. 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 could go. to where they don't believe that the leadership outrage over the years. kind of a small consumer advocacy group and the under. organized the resistance. he found a precious ally within the health ministry itself simon. researcher and nutrition you know gave their interest in pursuing this don't think it is the. economy who is going to win. it took 11 years of fierce struggle battling censors to reject a 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.

so they mustered out one medal and they. call. it a soul they said in the middle of the radicals and. encouraged by the success of the tax 20 associations joined the effort led by ken did 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 love for idea they make equal. joy when i mean. cmon. nobody they me. and the woman. in a low speed dial. state that they don't think. simon your daughter is just had an accident that 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 the i don't know your thought on toss. it out a kid i was his famous panache big ass was already in place because here in the

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 soda was sitting. there it was a bit. cooler. in. 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 a free market in. 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 if you.

don't go. i will give us a year. and. i mean. this for though we won't. know what they're going to be. in the past several years senator graham. 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.

$950.00 mostly men to come in there so you can. see it really didn't say what he wanted them to be made of a single idea. if they know a lot simply me for that matter there are a few of them but i mean i would say that it will just go to see that it will just . get to be to. get a young woman your say son you. going to steal. that well then don't get it i don't believe is that the little pumped up in with you know you know. you need to she just. doesn't get it fixed when it isn't and then clearly yes i do not yet discerning will say yes or no i live that is looked at that was limited to clearly meant. you know we were sitting on.

move with the nipple to say look at any. you know i think up or to see another you should know where the nipple descending from it no point in it whoops nope within this just know with an intervention force you thought you knew where the native bit of a goes into winter but i mean you'll remember said you know through t.v. we have to. be in the precinct and you'll say you're going to the beach someone would have been go you would have pulled up but those who press for not they just will keep on us for this we're there for inciting to you know you that sort of mean you and he said bill for those. who come in. in you but. they will go from facility look at 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. a level to not be set at the name of a. new animal that i thought more laps about killing then

a hobby of the child about the bigamy coming impulse i would. go on but how is that to get me money succumbing to force him to go to far more now. i think i love it when that simple if a simple so he thought of it. why did i say you have a textbook. chemical. when that same 18 month we saw a 25 percent reduction and purchases of sugar beverages and children. that's unprecedented and we're seeing large reductions of all the ultra processed junk foods as well as within the 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 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 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 stevie a lot of. i will say. dash. into the hall. because i mean i'll go on to being. attacked there will be a talk. to see the story 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 if i can reach to the idea and tsunami a lot of sought to put it to clear dismissed bob get as especially i'm not fussy about as i am as it was it was to not to and does the same goddamn by step clearance one so over at least as. it does hurt him to go in the dusty virchow after him on his ash dock and all be and does much have to shit in 2001 also who aggravated when it's goes on type here but. the german government counts on the industries the. realty to regulate itself it does not impose either

journey home but from the sun no money to go you go british of course they're going up but i'm going to. i mean you've got the war going on because at the end. of the. kitchen. table in that. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete in women's categories and sport. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely need to do not think that it's fair for athletes step in porn as pie logical males to compete in the women's category on the run. why do we have gender in sport do you have

gender categories and sports because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages or for each other. are the same use a lot of. friends are the supreme being there is a goal to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication and gunned down. that these men say that they feel like a woman and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of the baby her maybe biologically every home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe it.
