In London and New York, private financial and business interests have a strong voice in governance and policy making. For instance when the New York state considered imposing a tax on sweetened beveraged, Pepsi Cola threatened to move its bottling plant out of New York. This was enough for the Governor to withdraw the proposal despite advocacy by children's health groups.
In London, the association of Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Cadbury confectionery maker, severely compromises the ability to use the 2012 Olympic Games to promote good health.
My 'Logo' project is an exploration of these notions.
