The story goes far deeper then this. Coca-cola has literally ruined entire eco systems around their plants and deliberately poisoned food production by instructing villagers to use their factories wast as ‘fertiliser’. They are installing thousands of deep wells all over the world anticipating the water market, to be the next big market- like oil is today. They are moving to take hold of water resources as big oil has taken hold of oil resources. If others access to water is polluted, all the better for them- then they have a customer that ‘needs’ their product. Their are truly evil things afoot- and their right in the mix of it.
