Not a fan of Coke? Trying to cut sugar out of your diet? Want to avoid things like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or obesity? You are a racist. Oh, don’t look so surprised. You knew you were a racist when you started reading this. You just didn’t know how many ways you expressed it. You never knew your aversion to Coke was a microaggression. But now that you know, get chugging.
Calley Means is a former consultant for Coca-Cola and helped found the group True Medicine. He recently appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show to talk about how he was tasked with ensuring that proposed taxes on sugar or sugary products failed and that food stamps would cover soda. Opponents of that plan were labeled as racists. And Coke paid the NAACP and similar organizations to do the smearing.
Means also alleges that the FDA funneled money to universities, as well as conservative and liberal think tanks, to claim that soda did not cause obesity. He also states that soda manufacturers have been “deeply embedded” in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, of all places, which led to the concept that there was no such thing as “bad foods” only “bad diets.” It also meant that in 2007, soda was kept in the SNAP government nutrition program.
