  • 7 years ago
Two pastors are suing Coca Cola, claiming the company is deceiving the public by selling their products with positive advertising. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in D.C. by pastors Delman Coates and William Lamar of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. "There's an epidemic of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and a range of other degenerative diseases in the black and Latino communities," Coates said. "It is a matter of life and death in our communities," Lamar told CBS News.
