Mark Thomas On Coke

Belching Out The Devil - Mark ThomasMark Thomas, comedian and activist, makes his own journey into the deep and dingy bowels of the Coca-Cola corporation and unsurprisingly finds a whole lot of unpleasantness in that addictive, sticky, sugar water. His book, Belching Out The Devil is out now.

From: Mark Thomas Info - Amazon Store
"Coca-Cola and its logo are everywhere. In our homes, our workplaces, and even our schools. It is a company that sponsors the Olympics, backs US presidents and even re-brands Santa Claus. A truly universal product, it has even been served in space. From Istanbul to Mexico City, Mark travels the globe investigating the stories and people Coca-Cola's iconic advertising campaigns don't mention such as: child labourers in the sugar cane fields of El Salvador; Indian workers exposed to toxic chemicals; Colombian union leaders falsely accused of terrorism and jailed alongside the paramilitaries who want to kill them; and, many more. Provocative, funny and stirring, 'Belching Out the Devil' investigates the truth behind one of the planet's biggest brands."
