Hi,

Junk food giants like Coca-Cola, Kellogg's and Ferrero are fighting to keep our kids hooked on sugar. And blocking every rule that would stop them.

Investigative journalists from ten countries exposed their dirty tactics: through unrelenting legal attacks they are pressuring our governments to stop any policy that could cut sugar consumption.

Blocking taxes on sugar, limits on junk food ads, and clearer labelling of what we are eating.
Too much sugar during childhood is linked to early obesity, diabetes and tooth decay. But these corporations are putting profits ahead of our children's health.

Where sugar taxes have been introduced, they work. In Portugal, a sugar tax cut calories from sugary drinks by around 11%, the equivalent of 30 fewer sugar cubes per person each month.

Now, imagine this across Europe. An EU-wide sugar tax would push companies toward healthier, nutritious alternatives. But Big Food will do everything it can to stop this.

We can't let them win. The EU already has an EU-wide sugar tax on paper, but put it in a drawer once Big Food started their legal attacks.

With the truth now out in the open, your voice will give our politicians the backbone they need to stand up to corporate bullying and put our children's health first.

Het kabinet is van plan miljarden belastinggeld aan Tata Steel te geven, zonder dat het bedrijf een goed klimaatplan heeft. Zo kan Tata blijven vervuilen, met gevaar voor mens en omgeving. Dat moet anders! Steun de petitie 'Geen miljarden naar Tata zonder klimaatplan': https://bit.ly/tata-share-ov

Imho it is just another example of the capitalist way - addicts are very loyal customers. Just like any one that depends on your products or services.

I guess capitalism could be addictive - every time this challenge and victory when you manage to make money exploiting a different aspect of life.

As for vision, my suggestion would be to have a look at what's going on with #solarpunk , however their scope is wider.

As for me, I am interested in our money system and it's impact and also in complementary and alternative money systems and their possibilities, maybe also for housing.

As for housing, I would not be surprised if we would come to live in self-supporting communities, rather then in cities.
Investers will then of course have already sold their empty houses 🤭
