Coca-Cola and affiliated donors-$807,000 to Dems -$1.74 mill to Reps
PepsiCo-$255,000 to Dems -$1.7 mill to Reps
Nestle- Dems $59,000 -Reps $208,000
Burger King- $20,000 to Dems- $111,000 to Reps

"Of the $26 million contributed by restaurant companies and food processors in the 2000 elections, 71 percent of the money went to Republicans. The National Restaurant Association, Philip Morris (with a constellation of trash food in its resume, such as Kraft), Outback, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Waffle House, Pizza Hut, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Burger King, Cracker Barrel, and General Mills are among the top contributors on lists compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics that gave 77 percent or more of their money to Republican causes.

You probably never knew that doughnuts were a peculiarly Republican trash food. But in the current election cycle, Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme have both given 100 percent of their money to Republicans."
Makes them less tempting doesn't it.

Edit: The doughnut gang is the most 'honest' at least they don't throw a pitance at the left so they can say they donate both parties, hoping people will assume they give equally to each.
