| Vivek Ramaswamy: Coca-Cola Virtue Signals While Its Products Spread Obesity, Diabetes |
| 2021-11-22 |
| [Breitbart] Vivek Ramaswamy, author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, contrasted Coca-Cola’s advocacy for left-wing racial politics with its sale of sugar-based soft drinks in the context of contemporary widespread diabetes and obesity, particularly among black Americans. Ramaswamy said large corporations posture as virtuous through "woke" political messaging to deflect from the depravity of their business operations and harm caused by their products. He linked Coca-Cola’s sale of high-sugar beverages to the ubiquity of metabolic disease, as well as Nike’s use of inexpensive workers in Asian countries. Multinational corporations align themselves with false narratives pushed by left-wing news media, Ramaswamy observed. He noted Coca-Cola’s and Nike’s advocacy for narratives associated with the Black Lives Matter campaign and operation. "Corporate America loves that moment being presented to itself," he stated. "If you’re Coca-Cola, you would rather issue statements about a new voting law in Georgia or teach employees how to be ’less white’ than to deal with your own products’ impact on the nationwide epidemic of diabetes and obesity, including in the black community that it’s supposed to care so much about."

| #3 Have you looked at the labels of Grape juice (?) recently and other assorted concoctions on the aisle? Coke has nothing on sugar content to them. |

| #1 The left invented Doublethink. They are immune to charges of hypocrisy and immune to cognitive dissonance. No matter how often the right never tires of pointing it out. All that matters to them is power, pure power. If they contradict themselves in a single sentence that's fine. |
