GekeVenn: PEPSICO
PepsiCo lobbies heavily to prevent public health legislation to reduce the soda intake of Americans, and two of its in-house lobbyists also worked in the Obama administration's USDA: Bernadette Hobson and Dan Christenson.
The company also donates money to health organizations, presumably to mitigate any bad press from health organizations that might otherwise advise patients against drinking sugary sodas.
Despite all the company does to prop up soda sales, those numbers have been slipping, down 3% according to its latest quarterly report. PepsiCo's snack business is doing much better, even though the company has come under fire for purchasing palm oil from Indofood, which has been illegally clearing protected rainforest lands in Indonesia.
Snack brands under the PepsiCo umbrella include Doritos, Cheetos, Frito's Corn Chips, Rold Gold Pretzels, and Quaker Oats Chewy Granola Bars.

People actually buy the crap that PepsiCo makes. After making their purchase, they put these things into their mouth and swallow them. I find this simultaneously disgusting and hard to believe.
Naked capitalism. I doubt if any of the people on that list consume Pepsi products.
