 I’m very concerned about it. First, however, let me make this point. Every product we sell is refreshing, enjoyable and of the highest quality. Whether it’s Coca-Cola or one of our waters or juices,
any one of our brands can be enjoyed, any time, as part of a healthy and active lifestyle.
Obesity is one of the world’s leading public health problems. It’s also one of the most complicated, and it will take a broad range of stakeholders—including government, industry, academia and individuals—to address it. There
is no magic bullet, everyone must play a part.
So here’s what we’re doing. In addition to offering individuals around the world a range of beverages, we also support active lifestyles for young people through our sponsorship of youth development and educational programs. We respect
the rights of parents, teachers and school officials to make nutritional choices for children. And we’re working with governments, nongovernmental organizations and the public health community to ensure that the discussion about obesity remains grounded in fact and scientific evidence.
If consumers aren’t healthy, we won’t be either. So helping consumers make the choices that are right for them—by offering them the broadest range of beverage options—is a business imperative. And that’s exactly what
we’re doing. |
