Really? You think it's OK that hundreds of thousands of people strangely only have access to pre-processed foodstuffs, because shipping and storage regulations, geographical distances, poverty etc mean they can't put fresh healthy items alongside their emblazoned Coca-Cola refrigerators? In rural areas like Mexico where tomatoes are left on the vine because NAFTA made it cheaper to buy U.S. vegetables and corn (thanks subsidies), and a bottle of water DOES cost more than a can of coke and it's still owned by Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola, Nestle, Kellogs, Kraft: they all make sugar water and empty calorie products, providing cheap consumables to the population thanks to agricultural subsides and tax breaks. There is nothing good, at all, about these companies and if they all disappeared tomorrow perhaps for a day or two we'd be oh! where's my coke! And then buy some caramel coloured pop from somewhere else. Do you miss Asbestos and CFCs? Weren't they convenient also?
