Coke and Pepsi

I don't know if anyone is really talking about this in the states, but there have been recent allegations that Coke and Pepsi soft drinks made in India have elevated levels of pesticides in them. As a result, various government agencies across the country have started banning all Coke and Pepsi products. Kerala, one of the southern states, has banned products from the entire state, including shutting down one of the Coke plants. A few other states have banned products from all educational institutions and hospitals.

Read more about it here.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with this.

J - There was an NPR report about problems with Pepsi a week or so ago. The main idea was that more regulation should be required. Apparently, part of the problem is that Coke and Pepsi don't want to make their recipes public! On a slightly different front: Is there any concern about depleting local water supplies near production plants?
