Soda companies are good corporate citizens. They employ people in various communities and give to those communities in times of need. One of the first companies to respond to the tragedy in Haiti was Coca-Cola with a donation of $1 million dollars to the Red Cross. On the ground, Coca-Cola is getting four thousands cases of water through to Haiti each day. Keep going Coke -- Please keep helping!
Governor Paterson should back off the soda. It is not the source of the obesity problem. Inferior physical and nutritional education, which of course leads to poor exercise habits and ill-advised diets, are the cause of inflated waistlines.

I had the privilege of starting the FDA registration process recently for a tobacco client and thought it worth sharing my experiences.
All the information on what needs to be done including a check list is available on the FDA website. This is helpful; at least there’s a template to work from.
What’s missing is exactly how to do it. [...]
Liggett group’s general counsel sent a letter to FDA protesting the nomination process representing small tobacco businesses.
FDA has previously made clear that only small manufacturers could vote / nominate a representative to their category. Liggett contends this was not intended in the legislation and they should have some say under a broader definition of a small [...]
