It seems that Coke and Pepsi contain pesticides!

How Shocking! People are rightly outraged. They’ve decided that they will never ever have a cola drink again. After all, it is Bad For You.

Sure, its not as if the cola companies add pesticide to their produce because they hate their customers and want to kill all of them. The pesticide comes from the water they use. Their bottling plants don’t filter this water sufficiently well, because they are greedy MNCs who are concerned only with their profits and are callous about human lives.

On the othe hand, I’m ?ure the water my municipality supplies is perfectly safe to drink. After all, their filteration plants are run by government officials, whose single-minded dedication and commitment to work has made India what it is today.

Sorry, I normally don’t get snarky, but I get irritated when everyone piles on MNCs just because they get a chance. We should put pressure on them, but we should also note that most of the time they raise standards, not lower them. And how about hearing their side of the story once in a while?
Also, Smorgasbord has a non-snarky defence of the cola companies.
