3. I'm currently reading "Belching Out the Devil" by Mark Thomas

It's about Coke Cola and how the colluded with their bottlers in Columbia to destroy the unions there.

The book lays out the involvement of the bottling company with a paramilitary group to commit acts of murder to suppress any support of union organization.

I stopped drinking coke about 25 years ago. I had always hated the crap, but at the time, I didn't care for their labor record and that was enough for me to stop drinking any of their product.

This year, I have stopped drinking any kind of soda all together (not that I drank much of that crap anyway, to begin with) and decided to only drink soda I made myself. I now brew my own root beer and ginger ale.
