But will the media cover it, or cover it up?

William Lamar, the senior pastor at D.C.’s historic Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, is tired of presiding over funerals for parishioners who died of heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

So on Thursday, he and another prominent African American pastor filed suit against Coca-Cola and the American Beverage Association, claiming soda manufacturers knowingly deceived customers about the health risks of sugar-sweetened beverages — at enormous cost to their communities.

Hope this goes to trial and expert witnesses like Robert Lustig and Gary Taubes are brought in.

Thanks, I did a search before posting for pastors and coca cola but missed seeing it. I’d like to delete my post but I haven’t found that yet either…
