by the way the coca- cola CEO told Shimelis Abdisa to lose wait before the plant oping if he want the kick back and he look like he lost a lot of weight... i think he have to share to his oromo sister Mrs. orange how to lose all those weight in just 3 month ... cut the sugar , that means don't drink coca, and cut the salt this alone reduce few pound and she will be encouraged when she see the weight melting

Ethosh; for the matter of fact, CC the source every disease; high blood pressure, tooth decay, ulcer, i don't know where to end? That garbage should have sold next to bleach not food. But dumb people think it is an investment, i reality goodbye public health. You got that correct, sir.

This is badnews for Ethiopia. This manufacturer of disease is getting foothold in Ethiopia. The things Ethiopia should avoid is disease bottling and selling companies like this one and the so-called birth control or child killer factories. The former kills the all age groups and the later kills the yet unborn. Why does Ethiopia spread her leggs for bad stuffs like this?

did u ever eat bread with coca... how in hell u deny this to young generation .. i know coca is not gooooooooooooooooood .. my self i struggle long and long time to stop drinking this evil drink then when i have family i never bought coca and my kids are not that much crazy about the drink

correction i only buy coca when i have gathering otherwise my only addiction is tea.. that also reduced to two sugar no cream

i have very hard time to say no to coca for young people because that is the only thing they have i no heart to say to them no for coca. instead create alternative such as fruit drink packaging ...

another point i try to make if u ban coca the demand will rise so banning is not right hence the only thing we have is education to teach them coca is not good for them beside if u say no to coca the USA will revenge on u .. the usa they don't play when it come to their brand name drink they will say no coffee from Ethiopia will die so you have to be systemic to say no to coca..

The problem in Ethiopia, the level of health education, consumer awareness and informed health choice is very poor. The reason why companies take flight to less education population but with a growing demography is to find virgin market. As you know the Ethiopian population is largely very young, preponderantly underage. This type of population typical candy consuming population. In countries like Ethiopia, the government is more for the corporation and does not put regulation regarding their sugar/calorie content. In the West there is increasing regulation almost pushing out these manufacturers and encouraging them to substitute with something healthy. A healthy journey starts at infancy and early childhood, otherwise juvenile diabetes, obesity etc. will be rampant. One of the things I noticed a few years after my stay in America is , Ethiopians are too much beer consumers, a habit they took from the አስረሽ ምችው of Addis Ababa lifestyle. Things that started abroad are faster copied by Ethiopians without doing it in moderation. For instance, HIV/AIDs started in the developed world, but it wiped many young people in Ethiopia, developed world practice safe seix, but in Ethiopia it is more of an unsafe practice. So, if you have population with such pattern of behavior keep them away from such poison. You don't completely ban them but limit them. These are the same as cigarette factory. Also, don't forget Khat.

I don't know how old your kids are but let me give you an advice. If you have a daughters, never feed them regular milk, regular hamburger, all kind s of chicken . cat out all sugars all together. Spend few dollars and buy organic milk and grace fed hamburgers. But NO chicken. If not when your daughters reach at the age of 10 to 15, they will be mistaken for full grown women with full grown women's problems. By feeding them organic, you will save them from this devastating disease, breast cancer. Why do you think breast cancer is rare to never heard of in China, Japan and even Ethiopia but incredibility high and a killer in USA.

temari and co. seem too excited about making $. Everytime government changes, foreigners keep tightening the neck of Ethiopia by their stooges in Ethiopia. Especially since past 30 years, the only reason the country is divided and controlled by ethnic elites is for the maximum profit for these elites by working with neocolonizers. If you refuse because you care about the country and it's population, the rope will be tighter. What do you do in this case as a leader epecially the current leader who is willing or by force is surrounded by ethnic, neo-religious and $ vultures working with neocolonialism? The leadership must negotiate on the maximum so that the country doesn't lose its soul, economy and it's peace. Neocolonialist ( by the way for Ethiopia will include Arabs too) countries gain benefit at 0 cost to them. Ngos, donations they bring to Ethiopia is useless. The leadership must be very clever and figure out a way to benefit the nation at a maximum such as job creations, innovation, indigenous ngos and nonprofits, focus on especially creating middle class. A nation is supposed to be stable in every way when the mass is sustainable and stable. The stat should be few poor and few ultra wealthy and more broad middle class. The win-win negotiation like today may not benefit poor nations one way or the other, the neocolonialism will take it all. What is win-win; in order you want to rid of conflict, you negotiate giving neocolonialists for the Nile, giving natural resources, etc, that is in fact NOT win-win, but losing from every point. Even stopping conflict is not guaranteed from neocolonialists and want maximum benefit while they are keeping you busy with conflicts.

Coca Cola was hurting Indians and check out online their history in india, they were kicked out. By the way we have too many ignorant ethnic fanatics controlling Ethiopia who want to control the country by working with foreigners. The leadership must research what foreign company to work with before welcoming them. All companies come either to benefit themselves or to harm the country in the name of Ngos, job creations, company. The name, Prosperity Party could be a clue for such type exploiting the country due to pressure from globalists.

For instance, every Ethiopian since 30 years was brainwashed to create short cut wealth while blundering the country and we have seen what happened and today, still continuing. The brainwashing is to create individualism as supposed to community, and making capital only for the individual. Weyane did not approve indigenous ngos, nonprofits that benefit the society and approved only businesses. It is unrealistic 140 million people will be in business or be wealthy because everyone has different thinking and ideas of projects and businesses and humanity. That is why the society must be free to work to be in every sector, businesses, nonprofits, etc. That is how West grew. Tplf ( oligarch) prospered and those who work with them and brought the mass to poverty, this is the ultimate feudalism they said H Selassie did feudalistic system, hahaha don't make me laugh. Ethiopians are brainwashed that to prosper like West, we have to be greedy and individualistic. The West had the mass poulation in middle class which is sign of a healthy nation, but that was not even sustainable today because the ultra rich secretly amassed unprecedented wealth, controlled the govt and leading their nation to the cliff and democracy is no longer being implemented.

Another mistake, lack of studying what business to do or without controlling types of business that destroys the society. Hotel business is exponentially growing,in Ethiopia as negative sign because copying and pasting from other nations without researching. Who brings such ideas, hotel and real estate businesses? Obviously the world is copying and pasting from them and there is reason why they want these businesses to boom in the world because they have the upper hand to control by working with their stooges in other countries to take land and in the name "business" allows them to get in and spy, control the country slowly. This is what neoliberalism/globalism is. It is another way of neoliberalism. Their stooges, because they gain wealth with such system work with them and fatten their pockets and the people are further impoverished and with cheap labor. What other harm can hotel business do in a country like Ethiopia? Create more prostitution, rape and sodomization as tourism and hotels are booming. There should be businesses that focus more on creativity, food production, transferring skills from outside that benefits, etc. It doesn't mean there should be no real estate or hotels, but with the population that have no job, more people will be exploited. I believe a population that fully participates in the growth and protection of the nation is a thriving nation. Otherwise we should not be complaining becoming second, third class citizens in our own nations. What happened under Tplf rule? Tplf and it's shadow govt( foreigners) were first class citiizens. The few who work with them became second class citizens. The mass became third class citizens. Should Liberation Fronts succeed in future here will be the class system: The intermixed with foreigners will be first class (working for the benefit of foreigners), fake govt as fascist will be second. The mass ( the natives) will be third or fourth class. Some island nations are already in this system because they are small population and easy to control.

Effects similar to heroin
Within 40 minutes, the body has absorbed all of the caffeine from the cola. This caffeine causes the pupils to dilate and the blood pressure to increase. By this point, the Coca-Cola has blocked the adenosine receptors in the brain, preventing drowsiness.
Just 5 minutes later, the production of dopamine has increased. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the pleasure and reward centers of the brain. According to the infographic, the way that Coca-Cola stimulates these centers is comparable to the effects of heroin. It triggers a person’s urge to drink another can........

Zemen,

Yes, most Western population are just waking up that they were duped and theyvtoo were brainwashed and they now may not longer protect themselves or their nation because of uncontrollable greed and business, and now they maybe introducing to dangerous communism as well. I don't believe in ism: communism, capitalism, socialism,cetc is man's creation for sinister motive to eventually destroy or control traditional, stable, peaceful nation. Don't get me wrong, people have to work, live healthy, be at peace and community, good ideas, etc: what isms bring is negative competition that leads to war like today, or controlled population. Should be balanced. If you have to incorporate the Ism, at least make it balanced with natural systems.

Most of you here are talking about artificial problems of the developed world. We are not there yet. Any investment on anything that creates jobs is welcome. We are not in a luxury to reject such a huge investment on the bases of some fancy developed world problems. That would be stupid of us if we do that. Good none of you are advising the government :lol: .

We need tens of thousands local and foreign investments to coup with the growing number of our youth. And when someday in the future when we become a developed or at least a middle income country then we will invite you all to lecture us about coca-cola health risks and what not :lol: . Until then we have no ears to hear as we have much pressing problems, sorry.

PHD, Temari,

Do u remember the math teacher teaching u , about negative and positive number ... also telling you zero is greater then negative one, u see at those time u never know the value of those math teaching significant. today i will tell u their significant and that will explain to u zero is greater then negative one..



you see u live in USA, HAVING zero balance is much greater then having student loan, mortgage , car payment , visa payment , and all other payment u always wish that you have zero balance .... so having zero balance much richer then having negative balance which most of us have..

once u understand this consept then we can answer the Coca- Cola investment ...

let say one Ethiopian 20 years old have zero balance in his bank account .. u might consider him poor but he have his health so u is way richer then suffering with diabetes ... at age of 30 years old .. this diabetes doesn't affect you immediately it take ten or 20 years so no body connect the dot that Coca - Cola caused the diabetes,

second obesity this could affect our next generation this is what happened in Kenya they eating all fast food, this is what happened in Arab countries but they have money they start doing sport but they still have many fat people

so i am not saying shut down Coca investment, all i am saying make it some what costly and the money u get fund housing, sport and school for the local this way the local while be getting the benefit and they will not become obesity because daily excrescence and the cost of soft drink.

i remember not long a go, every so called Amhara investors building beer factory , if not beer factor then beer bar, night club, sport bar etc when r we going to be smart ... we better open school and teach how the Coca factory run this way we develop skill for other company that packaging fruit juice, even the Coca we produce should be exported to Somalia, South Sudan, Eritrea :lol: :lol: just to reduce our harm,

Temari,

Ethiopia, via Tplf had herself tight on the rope, so that you choose for lesser of the exploitation/ harm. While you are aware of bad companies, you allow because you need the money, the diplomacy, etc. That is already defeatist attitude choosing the lesser of evil. Be as it may, I posted last time on negotiations how the leadership must be shrewed and get maximum benefit tgrough negotiation. For ex, if win- win means ( depends) is you will have no conflict if you give up Nile and sign off resources, is that considered win-win? Note, l am not criticizing Aby here as l don't know what they negotiate about. But to be aware of tfe deceiving nature of foreigners.
