'Our life is about shaking people up': Sunita Narain [India]

The director of the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment, which has shaken Indian consumers with its findings that 12 soft drink brands marketed by Coke and Pepsi have pesticide content 30 times higher than acceptable limits, lashes out at the double standards of global companies in the developing world..."The cold drinks controversy has raised key issues which will need to be resolved in the coming months. We need to establish what kind of relationship will exist between civil society and the corporate world." [refers also to Bisleri, Telco, Tata]
