Last year several major food companies made a fatal brand error by betting against the American people. During the 2012 election, major food and pesticide companies donated more than $46 million to run a ruthlessly deceptive campaign to defeat Prop 37, a ballot initiative to label genetically engineered foods in California.<\/p>\n
Coming in as the #3 top donor, behind pesticide and biotech giants Monsanto and DuPont, was PepsiCo, the conglomerate beverage and junk food company who dumped in a total of $2,485,400 to deny Americans their right to know what\u2019s in their food.<\/p>\n
Because of Pepsi\u2019s significant financial support, Prop 37 and GMO labeling lost by a narrow margin of 48.6% to 51.4%. Pepsi\u2019s contribution was a direct assault on the American ideals of openness, transparency and democracy.<\/p>\n
Now Pepsi wants to use the Super Bowl Halftime Show to whitewash their deceptive brand, hiding behind the celebrity and popularity of Beyonc\u00e9 to cover up their betrayal of democracy.<\/p>\n
Take the pledge to boycott Pepsi’s dishonest and deceptive brands, like Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana, Frito-Lays, Lays and Cheetos – and ask Beyonc\u00e9 to end her celebrity endorsement of Pepsi’s junk food empire.<\/p>\n
