9:32 pm
with whenever the fostering industry is in the dark, it adopts the same line of defense, okay. and i just had to explain your basic academic always here isn't the limit that he him when he felt complete, i guess i would have to stay on it and bully us. so rhetoric is so smooth that it seems like a broken record. repetitive be ok. and i just want some research shows, you know, have shown a link between the conception of sugar and beverages and obesity. why do you insert? would that come with a confound? meant that lois see, i don't complete immune it. if i don't answer questions, we meant different researchers and menu them. compare the fight against consumption . i should go that route to the side of tobacco. when you answer to them,

they say no, no, no, it's completely a mother to him. when i grow 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 cocoa leagues has revealed that the lobby puts pressure on journalist keeps discredit on studies that dislikes finances, favorable research, and hobnob with political leaders to ensure those results. contact was established within the senate. we will actively campaign to register that off during 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, to avoid gains ground within the party transactions. so don't get any channels that
9:34 pm
you can cook and cook equity off it different si curriculum and you do an optional see the button. i wish jones bought many, jo increases and i think this is on jacked my sugar a drinks fast foods causing all these health problems. i mean, look at that. would you just look the times revealed that between 20082015. steve blair had received over 3 and a half $1000000.00 in research funding from coca cola pointed to serve as scientific expert by the city and county of san francisco. dane shillinger 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 sugar beverage consumption and obese in diabetes was funded in some way by the industry.
9:35 pm
whereas among all the studies that found that there was an association between the consumption of soda and sugary beverages and obese diabetes, except for one or 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, me the junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter legislation to protect consumers . the battle has now become political. the in the 30 years since warning labels and other forms of regulation were placed on tobacco over 1000000000 lives have been saved. thanks say that's
9:36 pm
a pretty good day at the office for people who make policy maliyah cohen and one of her fellow supervisors have made san francisco the 1st us 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, a 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 beverage. it with me imposing a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states. the industry rage, it fads pitch the line that the government with interest bearing with grocery shoppers feeding a family is difficult enough in today's economy. now some politicians want the
9:37 pm
government telling me how i should do it. they want to put new taxes. i'm. i want to close res, i bought the beverage. the sugar beverage industry 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 road. they spent millions of dollars as a matter of fact, the outspent, it's almost $6.00 to $1.00. give me a break. i can decide what to buy without government help. the government is just getting to involved in our personal lives. tell the candidates, the government needs to remember, but help advocate were able to mobilize citizen protest against the recalcitrant industry. we're going to win this about doctors and politicians lining up outside of san francisco, city hall framing the sugar sweetened beverage debate as the people versus big soda we no longer can sit back and let the big go to industry target and her,
9:38 pm
our community ah, the taxes finally voted in the victory was bitter. when san francisco moved require health warnings on soda containers like the ones on cigarettes. the fostering lobby, sued once again and one on appeal. the warning labels were shelved with the same method had been used in new york city. when mayor michael bloomberg suggested a law limiting the size of jumbo soda sold and restaurants, the bloomberg was marked as a scolding manny. and the court ruled in the industries favor ah, in this face off between corporate freedom and consumer protection. freedom once again seemed to be the private property of the most powerful. i represent the part
9:39 pm
of san francisco that was immigrate people. people who speak english as a 2nd language, people who live in subsidized housing, public housing tenement. 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 step and seem like people didn't care, the industry didn't care, they continue to target their money and resources to get people addicted so that the become wealthier. so
9:40 pm
what brings me to this entire conversation is that i don't want it where people die and if it means changing policy, changing, educating people for they are aware of the choices that they have and bringing more choice 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 oh,
9:41 pm
we've sweeten the world side because the market 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 and marketing in, in low and middle income countries. mexico was the 1st country to be colonized by these agribusiness conquerors. ah, the ah
9:42 pm
. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have crazy foundation. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah, we need to look at a little pendulum above the
9:43 pm
matrix. i don't want the cause the choice of me. sure. it's under which while you're committed, it's not normal patient you can easement leave me to choose today. 73 percent of the population is obese or overweight. 10 percent have diabetes, which has become the primary cause of death. just in the middle is to
9:44 pm
a mix. you could just put a, give me just go ahead and wrap the sugar in paperless attack. one of next because greatest treasures if cuisine valued by unesco as part of our world heritage. the fruit us scheduled 3 percent cars for the whole joint been seen winter policy and taurus here news. so movie vs has cut us because you're pointing to percent and making me june made you they, when they get out of me that you see to us young case getting me. none of the last handles that each mexican drinks a whopping $144.00 courts of soda per year on the average. a world record
9:45 pm

9:46 pm
i have another call. oh, nice su on element side. yeah. ah, 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 cal video. just almost like a pretty good idea. if i could get him to go over the web and he took me the head of a small consumer advocacy group and andrew, colorado, organized the resistance. he found a precious ally within the help ministry itself. simon, back era. i researcher in nutrition, i, you know, gala interest doesn't be feeling a lot that is economy who is going to win. and also the letter from
9:47 pm
it took 11 years, the fear struggle battling sensor to rejected clip after clip before the researcher and the activeness finally succeeded in taxing photos and junk food in mexico. it was the 1st so the attacks in north america. he is still present them once you get into those daniels. so them listed out whenever we look soon and they consume, or they review us, get us and make me go into middle know if i saw the fit and we don't know what to look at in goals and what of risks. encouraged by the success of the tags, 20 associations joined the effort led by can video about kara, they demanded a nutritional labeling system and they also hope to raise the tax from 10 to 20 percent me. apparently these demands for unacceptable to mysterious nameless opponents.
9:48 pm

9:50 pm
was the level of viciousness was way beyond what they've done before the taxes and the media. data attack was 2 other scholars, but they had never done something to threaten our children to threaten our families, to, to what they did in mexico. that was a new level of attack. me 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 the in the way i, who in the revolution came from a country at americas southern tip chile. despite the fact that for 30 years, it has been the darling
9:51 pm
a free market in beauty. the anti obesity movement is led by a senator. for years he has been fighting to dislodge his people from their rank as 3rd, worldwide in overweight and obesity. and you know, if you 30 and the or you and yet the hope enjoy don't go know just, you know, give us a year out of pocket if and produce more than you can if you got your and if i mean, after i get to see on this but up seems to me you're going to be more to know what the new meal veterans united portfolio. so in the past several years, sen greta gerardi, a former pediatrician has attracted the industries ire. he has been a fearless crusader in public health protection. first he braved billionaire president sebastian to nero's official veto. then he had to overcome the industry's
9:52 pm
campaign to denigrate him the finally the law passed in 2016. it was the type of bomb agribusiness dreads most. i mean, i think let me, let me tell you, would you want a dental of the medical seem to have it in, in law who simply terminated or happy to sit in and we'll just kind of see that in which i see that in which i ask you, if you want those, you know, sort of, you know, when you say send you own any sonya we're going to see about it, see whether or not get them in the you know, mainly to see what the quality. yes. and the national
9:53 pm
good. yeah. so last, see us on that. i live, it's close to many people. every month we will get a little was hi blowing with and i said that an issue for a nasa down. you know, i saw that thing. i want to see another sean, not with a pollution internet, no point and it was worth in to just know with and again, i don't know where they're in the winter, but like i said, you can, you only thing. and your son grew a little rich little finger. you're not born in progress or not just keep on us. and if you the, if in the failing thing. yeah. you know, what mean you on how much off it was for kids who them in the bushes that opinion you boy. so they will go from the show to let them in the what the
9:54 pm
industry argued that the legislation would be ineffective and would penalize the poor. but only 2 years after it went into effect, a virtuous circle formed the one on the shelf, get the name of the local. so i'm last typical in book dental. have you told me come and see. you saw the how enough to see. i mean, lisa giving us a new little boy, i see people who guess so i think i love it when it was simple for me to have them in that same 18 months we saw 25 percent reduction in purchases of sugar beverages . and surely that unprecedented, and we're seeing large reductions in all the ultra process junk foods as well.
9:55 pm
that is the 1st time we've seen the glimmer of a country that might change the norms toward healthy eating. the which lay 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 the new president and congress have just passed new legislation requiring the same kind of labeling chile, my dear job was on the other side of the atlantic. the contrast is striking europe neutral score labeling is fairly timid compared to the black labels in chile. only a few countries have adopted it and it is not even mandatory already you need to just say there was just in it
9:56 pm
as well. you know, i did it in the policy, the prism, you know, what i mean on fishy character will be it will last. so another winning strategy for corporate interest in germany has been to play the role of allies and the fight against obesity. this commercial produced by a supermarket chain promises a commitment to promoting healthy food to help children make their dreams come true . but if it really wise and trust the industry, ah villa and if i could, we could put it as crazy and to nami, it of fool deeply to reduce miss vom. yes, we are not for us. i was interested in that too. and does the same garden, but i still live in soon to books, but that's had him to go in that he would have them on their stock and,
9:57 pm
and darcia. and how does the translation in person it might not heard of it when a school type little bit longer me. the german government counts on the industries the bill the to regulate itself. it does not impose either taxes on sugary beverages or restrictions on advertising. ah, i told the truth, it's worth mill. you mentioned medea be it just has been met and the teacher had been this is tomatoes, the lose? ah,
9:58 pm
ah, yes, no. they didn't take into account one thing for their own capabilities, and i didn't want to face the truth if you will. give me lots of truth is that the u. s. is no longer capable of playing the role of global hagaman. i mean the role which had had assigned to itself, glove you more than i land of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself. we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider,
9:59 pm
which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer want or can't afford their life insurance policies . if you're sick and for want to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment after your death. there's a group of people out there. i get hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them? when i start crying about them dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the news.
10:00 pm
the neck and neck in germany. federal election with exit polls, putting the center left s p d policy just ahead of the routing c d u signaling that could be a change of direction for the country in the post medical era will have special coverage was billed to be an extremely tight race for the chancellor ship and also the week stop stories and i'll see the version, the sales param move the loss of 6 people killed in a universe to shooting. our correspondent traces the steps of the gunman steadily rampage. this is the exact road the perpetrator took while.
