Coca-Cola in India
Coca-Cola Crisis in India
The link will tell you more, but basically Coke's factories over in India have been causing water shortages, water and soil degradation, selling farmer's "fertilizers" which contain cadmium and lead, and the Coke products they sell in India have a high level of DDTs (pesticides) in them, which would be illegal to sell in the US or Europe.
People are just disgusting; it's unbelievable. And what's worse: I'm sitting here with a bottle of coke reading about this, which of course I only heard about through an Indy Media site, since you rarely hear about these sorts of human rights abuses in the mainstream news.
Well, I definitely won't be drinking Coke anymore, that's for sure.
