Has to look at the bigger picture

Its very unfortunate that the organizations which test colas for pesticide content does not do the same with vegetables and fruits.The pesticide content in vegetables and fruits are far greater than that in Pepsi or coke and no one seems to care.Even pesticide content in milk is alarmingly high.
The colas donot 'add' pesticides in their products.The pesticide content comes from the water which is used for making colas.Believe it or not,the pesticide content is in the ground water,not in colas.The excessive usage of pesticides by the farmers have contaminated the groundwater to alarming proportions.
The real threat is elsewhere,banning colas is not going to do any good.The government should wakeup to the facts and act accordingly.
