on that sir, raffle we're talking about tonight from the rest of the team. good evening. ah, no one else showed seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world. yes. to shave out disdain because of the african and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, push the weight sold again on the scale, say the meaning co you thought like, was a good segue as a breaking that you put in on your plate. and it's like you saw so to context

a break in there right away and 1st place is bring 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 well being of our communities, i don't say i'm addicted. faster. william the more of an dome in coats at mount in in baptist church in clinton, maryland are so in coca cola and the american beverage association drives do this. the war had moved to the courtroom. dillman coats dared to seek the law under coca cola corporation with

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 in 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 ah, coca cola statement. the allegations here are likewise legally and factually merit las and we will vigorously defend against them. the allegations are the coca cola misled consumers about the science of sugar sweetened beverages because

several of their executives went out in the press and made statements like there is no link between sugar sweeten beverages and diabetes. and we know that is not the case with whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark, it adopts the same line of defense. i just wanna had to explain your basically, if you didn't always yeah, it's on per lemma. dirty him, one of the factorial complete whole or a sort of carriers that our thought i think it was unit dental bullock october. the rhetoric is so smooth that it seems like a broken record, repetitive b. okay? and i just want some research shows, you know, have shown a link between the conception of sugar beverages an obesity. would you answer? would that come with a confound, they are meant that lower. see, i don't throw them out completely multi factorial. you didn't answer questions. we

meant different research was and many of them compare of the fight against consumption of sugar, beverage to the fight of tobacco. what do you answer to them? a mother him with for over 20 years, the software industry has denied any link between its products and disease or to maintain the illusion it employs all sorts of methods. since 2015 coca leaks has revealed that the lobby puts pressure on journalist keeps discredit on studies . it dislikes finances, favorable research, and hub knobs 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 and to avoid it. gains ground within the party or new york times from here. so i won't get a hold him. he comes from cell phones. you can't cook a cooker quite out of it. he dip aussie kettle when you do not know, said the baton i yeah. it is as wish. yes. young spotty minnie. joe imprinted on gra, i think these expect on she liked mine the sugary drinks, fast foods, causing all these health problems. i mean, look at that, would you just look the times revealed that between 20082015, steve player had received over 3 and a half $1000000.00 in research funding from coca cola. i pointed to serve as scientific expert by the city and county of san francisco. dean shillinger must untangle the truth from falsehood. when we did the analysis of the

studies, we found that every study that found that there was no association between sugary beverage consumption and will be seen. 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 obesity, diabetes, except for one, were independently funded. so we now know, and there's other evidence that industry has been i'm influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment to create controversy over the question of whether their products cause disease. mm hm. the junk food industry is cornered all over the globe activists are demanding tighter legislation to protect consumers. the battle has now become political. ah,

in the 30 years since warning labels and other forms of regulation were placed on tobacco over 1000000000 of lives have been saved. thanks a that's a pretty good day at the office for people who make policy ah malia 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 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 as long imposing

a tax is virtually revolutionary in the united states. the industry rage, it says pitch the line that the government was interfering with grocery shoppers. leading 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 on a lot of groceries. i buy the beverage. a 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 own. they spent millions of dollars. as a matter of fact, the out spent us 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, government least it's removed, but health advocates. we're able to mobilize citizen protests against the recalcitrant industry. we're going away,

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, we no longer can sit back and let the big so the industry target and hurt our community. mm. mm. the tax was finally voted in that the victory was better. when san francisco moved to require health warnings on soda containers like the ones on cigarettes, the soft drink lobby, sued once again and one on appeal. mm. the warning labels were shelved. 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. bloomberg was marked as a scolding nanny and the courts 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 a part of san francisco, that was a margaret, 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, i 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 the resources to get people addict it so that they become wealthier. the. so what brings me to this entire conversation is that i don't want any more people to die. and if it means changing policies, changing, educating people for that, they're aware of the choices that they have and 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 in, bop thought

a we sweeten the world side because the market no longer were growing in europe in the us. so coke and pepsi and all the clones, all the local companies that do the same thing, exploded and marketing. and in the low and middle income countries. mexico was the 1st country to be colonized by these agribusiness conquerors. while the pandemic, no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities as

a merge, we don't have a charity. we don't all the faxing needs to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with times we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crime will not go on forever. the challenge is great, but the response has been massive. 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 salmon show. i'll be speaking the guess of the world of politics spoke business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm.

a day 73 percent of the population is obese or overweight. 10 percent have diabetes, which has become the primary cause of death. doctrine shown, the middle is to make you could possibly could stop us hung up for the kids consuming disorder because we always had them grow up. you know, the sugar imperialist, attacked one of mexico's greatest treasures. it's cuisine valued by unesco as part of our world. heritage echoes from will they fruit us, you better lou de schedule during the present. it goes from will they for the whole guy join been daniel, seen gwent apportioned and got dorsey i news and it goes on. will they be as, as you can ask, as you're pointing to push him and making me johnny made you, they pull to the winter. they 5 years has looked at others. they call me that took them as soon as he dos young case. kidding me. now look for that handles at

a port with 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 junk throughout the world. and obviously they've been welcomed with open arms. it's cheaper than stacy convenient. what's not to like a, at the corner grocery store, an apple cost more than a bottle of coke with the photo can come from us. and let's see n last him doors today, ask it when i say to my c by man is just part of the bills. i'm thought that all day i say be do those bill, us elemental studies, your knowledge,

a nutritional labeling system, and they also hoped to raise the tax from 10 to 20 percent. but apparently these demands were unacceptable to mysterious nameless opponents. you're receive humans, how can we deliver? no one is here. may say, even, you know, league joy sick, leak in this, julio, he, me, i would, your la martina, the labrons, hipaa food audio. they make equal in doses joined the endears hook on one. i'm in nasa, seamen dewey her. it is a little bit of a mika. it will not sit in delta, more will is to go, is dumb. will get abbey in a low speed does. is he get us estate l's at dice yet only inc. simon, your daughter is just had an accident. it is very serious. come quickly. she has

a oh. the revolution came from a country at americas southern tip chile. despite the fact that for 30 years it has been the darling of free market enthusiasts. 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 if he thought he antonio, and yet the hope you don't go get that eliano, give us a year out of polish and beside us, any more than you can if he got your nest. i mean, nasa, i can assure this, but up seems to be one mule entrepreneur to know what the new meal competitiveness united before to suck. in the past several years,

senator guido 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 conyers official veto. then he had to overcome the industries campaign to denigrate him. finally, the law passed in 2016. it was the type of bomb agribusiness dreads most. a . he will have until the middle of a single colony that is to us. however, if in it on the law, i simply wish perma did her up. you have to put him into. so she didn't, we'll just, we'll kind of sit and watch a fancy then, and we'll check it out. i see them chuckle. yeah. it'll be, like i said, it's a one dos you know, so you're just when you're say sun,

you want in your face on your wait on it. i feel by out there a fee here know whether not is it, i mean, you know, lisa delinquent brown, if you will, you know, you can come in with what does it where there is a yes. i think the national guard is yet the 33rd law say yes or no. i live. that is look at that goes away. the boy elemental. wow. you know, we want to get in what, hello, look way than a poorly skeleton a showing for j, a nasa down. you know, i saw that thing, i want to see another shot, not web and apple you said internet no point and there was no point in to just not worth it again to for to see that you're not with us into winter. but like i said, when you don't decide you move you with the policy and, and yourself good a little when all of the new unit bought or balancing the best, you know,

they just will creep on us for this. we're the if in signing date. yeah. you definitely want me to have someone said bill offered us 40, what i'm imp, abortion in you or your voice or they will go from pursuer. we looked at them, it with the industry argued that the legislation would be ineffective and would penalize the poor that only 2 years after it went into effect a virtuous circle, foreign a look at been so i'm not that i find more less about killing both dental have you eats okay, that's the thing, the gum and impossible. it our down because all the lumber, howard, i saw that in the see. i mean, melissa giving a formal now little boy. i see people who close on there. so i think in love

with in that same 18 months we thought 25 percent reduction in purchases of sugar, we beverages and showing that unprecedented. and we're seeing large reductions and all the ultra process junk foods as well. mm hm. that is the 1st time we've seen the glimmer of a country that might change the norms towards healthy eating, which lay ensued. revolution has inspired action and neighboring countries. peru has instituted the same labels, and uruguay is about to do so. and dramatically, mexico is joining them and it's new president and congress have just passed new legislation requiring the same kind of labeling ice chilly feels he went by your job lot on the other side of the atlantic. the contrast is striking. europe's nutri

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 or is i need to do it later just or i will say that there was a standard does it we it was actually the more i did it completely possible or hybrid for them yelled all or the mean i'll be she jack, there will be a talking writers larson, she's so another winning strategy for corporate interests in germany has been to play the role of allies and the fight against obesity. in 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? ah

i know villa and if i could respond, i deposited fuzzy and soon amulet of deutschland saw deeply take their dismissed. vom yet as associate offered to you as i and as it was, it was denied to ent does the same garden, but i still live in soon saw, which medley has does, had him to go in. the dusty village huffed amana and his ash doc, adobe, and dodge land hot or does, which roughly shouldn't, doesn't it my not unheard of added when at schools on tightly here belong. i am 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, a misfire tossing thoughts? express know you mentioned medea beatrice has been met on mitzi shied. ohio m does, has come out

with a wrong what i just don't know any. you want to save out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds born, we choose to look for common ground scientific knowledge has never been so readily available to everyone across the globe,

but overwhelmed by information. can we distinguish the real science from the one being imposed upon us? we're living in a world where there are many people who have a vested interest in finding information, finding scientific evidence, and discrediting even the notion that science could provide. the truth about the natural world in the pursuit of business goes large corporations, a challenge strongly by scientific evidence, if you're emotionally invested and free markets than climate change is a serious emotional threat. because dealing with that means we have to change our approach to business industries. or on the warpath attempting to debunk legitimate science by producing new evidence in science, lighting science. that's how ignorant is manufactured. their attention only seeking to the rail science rolling to using science against itself.

with tonight, they were potent urges for media talks to stop further nato expansion towards russia's borders in a telephone conversation with britons prime minister boris johnson. and we don't going speculation over the situation and you, craig, and also accusations that have been coming for towards russia as well. in other headlines that were bringing year 10 up to a $150.00 dead off tornadoes rip across american states. but the disaster also on the lines the countries deep political divide to the some politicians given everything that's going on already trying to score points from the tragedy. and
