The key word in the original post is "seems." The culprit also could be a government agency in Mexico -- or even elsewhere.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

A thorny issue, this.

 

I'm as against obesity as the next guy, but I don't want to pay for his diet  (which ain't gonna work anyway) with your soda.  I still see sugar taxes as a money grab dressed up as a public health issue.

I think where you stand on the obesity/taxation or regulation of sugar consumption issues is irrelevant. This is very disturbing news and a horrifying threat against free expression. I think based on the current research (which changes day to day), we can all agree that eating too much refined sugar is a bad thing, but without action, who will become the next targets of such unethical and shocking tactics? Will I? Will you? *shiver*
