Coca-Cola Chairman Makes Announcment - Vows to Improve
 

"At Coca-Cola, the way we have engaged the public health and scientific communities to tackle the global obesity epidemic that is plaguing our children, our families and our communities is not working.

Our company has been accused of shifting the debate to suggest that physical activity is the only solution to the obesity crisis. There also have been reports accusing us of deceiving the public about our support of scientific research.

We have read and reflected on the recent news stories and opinions, online conversations and questions from our own family and friends. The characterization of our company does not reflect our intent or our values.

I am disappointed that some actions we have taken to fund scientific research and health and well-being programs have served only to create more confusion and mistrust. I know our company can do a better job engaging both the public-health and scientific communities?and we will.

By supporting research and nonprofit organizations, we seek to foster more science-based knowledge to better inform the debate about how best to deal with the obesity epidemic. We have never attempted to hide that. However, in the future we will act with even more transparency as we refocus our investments and our efforts on well-being.

Committed to acting with integrity when serving our customers and our communities, Coca-Cola has always believed that a healthy diet and regular exercise are essential for a healthy lifestyle. As the largest beverage company in the world, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to have a positive impact."

Let's all NOT take responsibility for what we teach our kids to eat and what we eat ourselves.

If you are a fat fucking pig, in 99% of the cases, you are one because you choose to be one by eating like one.

If you are an uneducated fat fucking pig that thinks drinking coca cola is healthy..... well ;)

Yes but please get rid of the Corn Syrup , its not healthy not matter what the makers say. Change Coke back to the way it was before 1984. Its the only way , to use cane sugar which can act as a energy instead of corn syrup getting clogged up in the body.

This was posted on Reddit yesterday, you might find it interesting..

It's not healthy in general, we all know this. But there is no reason it should be as unhealthy as it is. There is no need for anything to have that much sugar in it, no less a beverage.

An ice cold Coca Cola is something meant to be cherished and enjoyed while having some pizza or Chinese take-out. If you like to guzzle it by the case instead of water, then you get the spare tire and diabetes you deserve.

Well said that man... :2 cents:
