Monkey Monday: food politics in action edition 26 April 2010 12:37 pm
Posted by Tracy in : consumerism,economics,food snobbery,geekery,monkeys,nyc,photos,pictures,politics,random , 2 commentsSo on Friday I was on my way to a lecture by a possible NYU Food Studies visiting prof (one of the ones I posted about last Tuesday, actually), when what should greet me at the end of my block but a Coca-Cola delivery truck with a banner on the back:
So close to home!
The fold in the top of the banner makes it hard to read, but the whole message is:
Governor Patterson’s beverage tax would increase the price on your favorite beverages up to 50%!
The last thing New Yorkers need is another tax.
and then there’s pictures of the aforementioned beverages, the name of the sponsoring group (New Yorkers Against Unfair Taxes), and web, Facebook, and Twitter links to said organization. (more…)
