Book Description
Mark Thomas?a legendarily seditious comedian and human rights activist?is a recovering Coca-Cola addict, a self-described ?middle-aged fat dad with asthma who decides to trek around the globe investigating the stories and people Coca-Colas iconic advertising campaigns dont mention: child laborers in the sugarcane fields of El Salvador, Indian workers exposed to toxic chemicals, Columbian labor union leaders in Coke bottling plants falsely accused of terrorism and jailed alongside the paramilitaries who want to kill them.
At once hilarious and disturbing, Thomas builds a very detailed and damning case against the worlds most ubiquitous drink.
