Coke responds to US initiatives to 'solve' obesity issues
The Coca-Cola Company has released a statement on NYC Health Department new initiatives to 'solve' the obesity problem over the next 18 months.
The Coca-Cola Company said:
The people of New York City are much smarter than the New York City Health Department believes. We are transparent with our consumers. They can see exactly how many calories are in every beverage we serve.
We have prominently placed calorie counts on the front of our bottles and cans and in New York City, restaurants already post the calorie content of all their offerings and portion sizes - including soft drinks.
New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase. We hope New Yorkers loudly voice their disapproval about this arbitrary mandate.
