Health organizations around the world are asking the largest beverage
industries, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo to adopt changes in regards to
marketing to kids ages 16 and younger.
Gathering with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI)
in Wash. D.C., groups such as The World Public Health Nutrition
Association, World Obesity Federation, Healthy Latin America Coalition,
Alianza por la salud Alimentaria, and more wrote to big soda’s CEO’s and
institutional investors to consider the soda-related health risks that
communities in low-income countries continue to face with rising rates
of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
Billions of dollars is spent in marketing soda world-wide and much of the “core demographic” according to CSPI’s recent article, are teens and low-income countries.
