Update on Support for Ukraine
04-07-2022
Our hearts are with the people who are suffering atrocities in Ukraine, as well as the refugees who have been forced to flee their homes.
The safety of our people and their families continues to be our priority, and we are doing everything we can to support them.
To date, The Coca‑Cola Company, its global bottling partners and

The Coca‑Cola Foundation have committed to contributions totalling more than $35 million to support our colleagues

and humanitarian relief efforts.
When the conflict began, we immediately responded to provide emergency support to NGOs delivering humanitarian relief, including the brave efforts of the Red Cross movement operating in Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
In addition, we activated urgent financial assistance to all Ukraine-based Coca‑Cola and CCHBC employees.
Our focus now is to support the distribution of vital food and water supplies in Ukraine and relief for internally displaced people and refugees in surrounding countries.
As well as ongoing support for our impacted colleagues, we will be supporting efforts to rebuild the local community.
We have been inspired by the actions of our teams and would like to thank those who have donated, volunteered their time and even opened up their homes to support those seeking sanctuary.
Our thoughts are with the millions of people affected by this conflict. Our overriding hope is for peace in the region.
Please read our statement here on suspending our business in Russia.

Does Coca‑Cola send any of its profits to the Israeli army?

No. Coca‑Cola does not fund military operations in any country.

Fat tax already exists.

Netherlands taxes drinks via “packaging recycling deposit” which nobody returns incentivizing not to buy sodas as well as direct tax on sugar (26 Euros per 100L).

We live in a world where the population thinks being fat is worse than being a wife-beating member of a terrorist group. We truly are lost down the rabbit hole.

No, but something has to change with airline seating. Don't need muffin top rolls spilling over into adjacent seat

Absolutely not.

All you social engineers should fuck off.

End the obnoxious US sugar tariffs that led to the widespread adoption of high fructose corn syrup as the go-to sweetener in this country, and also end the massive subsidies for corn production that promote HFCS. Also eliminate the GRAS exemption for food additives that led us to the poisonous system we live with now.

Or just tax people proportionately for being fat

It's not sugar or unhealthy foods that causes obesity, it's overreating, which is the sin of gluttony. Sin must be disincentivized in society, either through the law or through taxation.

Way too many conditions and even medicines that make you gain weight. By the BMI have 90% of the people on this forum are probably overweight. Some probably don’t even realize it.

To my knowledge no country taxes fat people. Some tax unhealthy ingredients. Japan’s metabo law is the closest thing and basically they tax companies not individuals if a certain percentage of them have too large of a waist.

Well the alternative to a tax is a cultural taboo. In largely every other place but America and the West you'll get relentlessly shamed for being fat, which is more effective than any tax
