Boycott of sugary sodas

jeudi 9 mars 2017 à 01:00

There is a broad boycott of international-brand sodas in part of India.

The article presents this campaign in a way that seems incoherent. Some of the criticism is aimed at the sugar in most sodas, the growing of which uses up a lot of water. But if that is the point, why not boycott drinks with added sugar, regardless of who makes it? Why would a local brand be any less bad than a world brand? The think to do would be to boycott sugary drinks, which could have the byproduct of reducing obesity.

This is a separate issue from the worldwide boycott of Coca Cola Company, which includes all products of that company including fruit juice and water. (Coca Cola's bottled water in India is called Kinley.) This boycott is about the use of paramilitares (right-wing terrorists connected with the army) to murder union organizers in Colombia. They do lots of other bad things too.
