8:37 pm
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
8:38 pm

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. 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.
8:41 pm
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 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.
