New World Notes - Is It Time To Stop Drinking Coke?

This week on New World Notes: radio program #332, July 15, 2014, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst takes a refreshing look at America's favorite soft-drink company.

A manufacturer's dream: remove those pesky union organizers with your own death squad! Coca-Cola's bottlers in Colombia have done this for years. Here's the story in prose (by Julian Borger) and song (by David Rovics).

If you'd prefer to die more slowly, try consuming a whole lot of Diet Coke--or any other food containing aspartame (NutraSweet). James Corbett explains.

Fun Fact: What do NutraSweet & the Iraq War have in common? Donald Rumsfeld!

This installment is a repeat of NWN #75, broadcast in August 2009.

"Coke" and "Coca-Cola" are registered trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company.

Julian Borger story from The Guardian online. Corbett recording from his weekly program, The Corbett Report for June 7, 2009.
