Quote:
A diabetic MP is asking Coca-Cola not to bring its Christmas truck to Leicester, accusing the company of marketing a "real health hazard".

Keith Vaz insists he does not want to be a "killjoy", but said the truck would send the wrong message in a city where diabetes is rising and a third of children have tooth decay.

Quote:
If the truck does come, Mr Vaz wants the company to make it clear how much sugar is in each product.

"People will protest against the arrival of this truck and it will not be welcomed in the way in which I think they would have hoped," said the Leicester East MP.


Warning - article contains image of blubber-lipped chef Jamie Oliver, who really needs to amend his restaurants’ desert menus to contain, well, less sugar.

Even I find the truck a bit creepy in that context, but Vaz has long been an attention seeker.

Errr, if you've got diabetes then don't drink Coca-Cola.

[LIFTED] Vaz. Plenty of people would love to have it there. If you don't like it, don't go and see it

A poxy little Hino?

If they were using the real Kennworths etc. it might interesting to go see, but a Hino? I'm with Vaz, steer clear, it just looks tacky!

Oh, right, he wants them not to come on health grounds... Erm, but that Hino hurts my eyes. :lol: Gosh, back on theme! :lol: :lol:

I had no idea the Coca-Cola Xmas truck toured around the country. The TV advertising makes a bit more sense. Now I found it won't come to Birmingham! :evil:

Looks like cadbury's will be sending out their trucks around the midlands given that the coca cola truck isnt coming.
