She called me a few days later and said, we can't show the movie.
I'm like, why?
She goes, Coca-Cola is in Atlanta.
It funds the King Center.
I went to Spelman College, you know, women's college in Atlanta, Black Women's College.
50%, 50% of 18-year-old women entering the college have a chronic disease.
And everywhere is Coca-Cola because Coca-Cola funds a lot of the campus.
And if you look at the board, it was the vice chair of such and such from Coca-Cola who's on the board.
They literally block every single avenue of good science information.
The Land-Grant College is established by Abraham Lincoln to improve agriculture, funded mostly by the pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer companies.
So they don't allow farmers to understand how to do a different kind of agriculture that's more regenerative, that's good for the land, that produces better food, more food, that restores the soil, prevents the loss of biodiversity and pollinators, that doesn't pollute the water, that doesn't use and deplete our aquifers, that produces more nutrient-dense food, that produces more money for the farmers.
They don't want anybody to know about that.
So there's so many ways in which our whole system has been co-opted by... When I say the food industry, I mean...
The agricultural companies, seed, chemical, fertilizer companies, and pesticide and herbicide companies, the processed food industry, and the fast food industry.
And it's only a couple of dozen CEOs that control all this.
Why?
Shareholder value.
I mean, Denise Morrison was the head of Campbell's and tried to improve Campbell's.
She got fired.
