Why you shouldn't be drinking Coke

I know the heading sounds like a warning coming from the matron, but it should have included "why you shouldn't be drinking coke and any other soft drink for that matter!" This is because, you don't know what they contain, their effect on the health, the psyche, the moral, the environment, etcetra.

Last night I watched a documentary that made me vow never to buy this drink ever again! It's easier said given that am already an addict. I won't get into the origins of it, but I am now joining the Killer Coke movement to advocate in my own level! Check out their website and you'll understand the origins of the rage against the Coca Cola company.

From a layman's point of view, the addiction to the produce makes the brain asks for more, and the red colour is a trap they use to attract you to the product. But what they don't talk about is the after math, the obesity levels, the change of lifestyle. In Mexico, where they have one of their plants using up their water resources, soda is much cheaper than water. It has been totally integrated into their lives including during the cult procedures. Children as young as one are already sipping the unholy drink. The taps run dry since coke's overexploiting their water. They got lots of help to privatise water when the president  of the company -Vicente Fox in Mexico and Latin America became the president of the country.

"According to Bell, "Coke is also widely produced in Mexico, an arrangement that is threatening the country's water supplies and undercutting indigenous control of natural resources. It takes three cups of water to make one cup of Coke. Since 2000, Coca-Cola has negotiated 27 water concessions from the Mexican government. Nineteen of the concessions are for the extraction of water from aquifers and from 15 different rivers, some of which belong to indigenous peoples. Eight concessions are for the right of Coke to dump its industrial waste into public waters."

Small wonder Nakuru always has issues with water shortages, what with the existence of their
plantation right in the heart of the city?
