I Would Not Like to Buy the World a Coke
From corporate co-optation of education, to Dasani bottling fraud, to drying up the aquifers of Indian farmlands, to selling Coke in India with DDT, to likely being complicit in Colombian paramilitary groups killing union leaders at their bottling plants, to just generally being unhealthy, Coca-Cola is high on my list of amoral corporations.
But John F. Borowski’s crusade against the Criminal Coke is refreshing and full of clarity. His latest piece is truly inspiring!

CNN Showing Child Labour, Sweatshops and Fair Trade Initiatives
Tonight on Aaron Brown’s Newsnight we meet the maker of the documentary “Stolen Childhoods.”
Child slavery, sweatshop conditions, fair trade short term remedies then were discussed by a clothing manufacturer with a stern voice stating how they have to supervise their contractors and a professor talking about the inadequacy of band-aid solutions.
It’s nice to finally see this on a major network in prime time. Slowly, slowly, slowyly people become aware. Interestingly, one of the things Brown mentioned to the director was how people need to become outraged to act. But first they need to lose their apathy.
