3Corporations to Kick Out of Your Kitchen
2. Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola does some pretty nasty things. In Plachimada, India, the ground water in a radius of 3 km from their plant dried up. This is the common source of drinking water for these people. Moreover, it’s known that Coca-Cola partnered with both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Family Physicians which become reminiscent of old cigarette ads of smoking doctors. If we go back to we can even trace this soda company back to Monsanto with corn syrup feeding the greed. Since Coca-Cola owns Dasani, Minute Maid, Capri Sun, Powerade and several other beverage companies, that’s a lot money going to the production of corn instead of varied crops.
