Well... It has happened again.
I cannot understand why Sunita Narain & co are taking off on Pepsi & Coke. To me it looks as though the hunting is on as they are MNCs.
Personally I am no fan of Pepsi/ Coke and prefer tender coconut water/ buttermilk to these.
Why should the colas be bashed up when residues are within the limits specified by the government? Has Sunita tested the other stuff like Milk, Packaged water and other stuff that are being sold? Good chance that the levels of the contaminants are much higher. Would they ban milk then?
I was watching a debate on NDTV on SUnday (Big Fight) which featured Sunita Narain and Jaya Jaitley apart from a MNC representative. To the question on levels of contaminants in other stuff like milk, Jaya said "Anyway pepsi has no nutritive value... So there is no justification in allowing them"... Give us a break.
And Sunita goes on to sy that the cola manufacturers are lobbying to ensure that the regulations are not tightened.
I am not sure if all these are marketing gimmicks by the MNCs to kindle some interest in them but it stinks.
I am not sure when we Indians are going to come out of this mindset and stirive to solve a problem wholistically!
