a join me every posting on the alex simon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world. politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't move to shape out. they become the advocate. an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves, wilson born, we choose to look so common ground. ah . push the weight sold again, the scale say the training poll you thought like, was a good segue as

a breaking that you put in on your plate. and it's like you thought of context right in there. right? yeah. wait 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 b mental and physical well being of our communities. don't say i'm addicted. faster, william. the more of an dillman coats at mount in baptist church and clinton, maryland are so in coca cola and the american beverage association writers do this . the war had moved to the courtroom. dillman coats dared to sick the law on the 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. am we now that is not the case with whenever the soft drink industry is in the dark, it adopts the same line of defense a explains, you're basically getting low always, yeah, it's pro, lemme dirty him money, factorial complete, whole, or a sort of curious at 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 and obesity. what you answer would

that come with a content that are meant the lowest, he adds them, throw them out completely multi factorial. you didn't answer questions and we met different researchers and many of them compare 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 soft drink industry has denied any link between its products and disease. 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 won't get a hold of me. counselor said, when you can cook a cook echoed out of it. he d policy. caitlin, you do not know said the button i yeah, it is as wish yes, young, spotty, maybe get imprinted on but i think this expect on jacked mine the sugary drinks fast foods causing all these health problems. i mean to 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 soda and sugary beverages that will be seen 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 and 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 public health advocates were 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 fit back and let the big so the industry target and her, 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. a st 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 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 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. 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, so 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 involved

with we sweeten the world's guide because the market's 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 with

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. judas, have you miss? how can we deliver? no one is he may say he renew analia joy said gleick in this julio, he may, i would your love by hiena, they love principality unit idea they make equal in those as joint endears. hook on one, i'm in nasa, seamen doing that. it is a nobody they mika. it will not sit in doubt, the more will is to go is dumb, will get abby in a loss, be dull? is he get us estate loaded? thanks yet only inc. simon, your daughter is just had an accident. it is very serious. come quickly,
