How can a soft drink kill? Before you take another swig, consider the 
charges against Coca-Cola and its bottlers:

* In Colombia, union organizers are systemically murdered by hired 
  death squads

* In El Salvador, Coke buys sugar from plantations that use brutal
  child labor.

* In India and Ghana, Coke drains wells and dries up ponds.

* In Mexico, Coke pollutes the water.

* In the U.S., Coke leads the junk food industry in seducing kids into
  eating habits that lead to epidemic diabetes, obesity and tooth decay.

A growing movement of unions, students and governments are challenging 
Coca-Cola. At least 20 U.S. colleges have cancelled contracts with Coke.
