Calls have been made to ban the Coca-Cola truck from Liverpool this Christmas amid concerns about obesity levels in the city.
Liverpool's Liberal Democrat leader Richard Kemp said the city is "in the grip of an obesity epidemic". He believes Coca-Cola's popular festive vehicle promotes a product which is "grossly unhealthy", as first reported in the Liverpool Echo. A Coca-Cola spokesman said the truck also promotes sugar-free drinks.
Mr Kemp has written a letter to managers of the Liverpool One shopping district, setting out his opposition to the "cynical event" His concerns come four months after a study by Public Health Liverpool naming and shaming what it said were the most sugary breakfast cereals.

No, it raises blood pressure and induces frustration in the poor fat bastitches who try but fail to lose weight long term (by far the majority of dieters)
and worst of all allows sanctimonious bastitches to smugly congratulate themselves on how they're naturally better than the fatties they berated.
And it has nearly zero effect on the rate of obesity.
