Mexico Drowning in Sugary Drinks as "Coca-Colonization" Grips Nation
Mexico's hooked on soda! Experts blame "Coca-Colonization" for a health crisis, with 93% consuming sugary drinks. Transnational corporations push unhealthy habits, replacing traditional foods and even infiltrating ceremonies. Time for a change!
Forget tequila and tacos, the real national obsession in Mexico might just be the bubbly, sugary stuff in a can. Experts are sounding the alarm over the country's sky-high soft drink consumption, warning of dire nutritional, economic, social, and even cultural consequences.
According to brainy boffins at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), this isn't just a casual habit – it's a full-blown national phenomenon. "Soft drink consumption in our country is high and has nutritional, economic, social, and cultural repercussions," declared the eggheads at UNAM's Institute of Anthropological Research (IIA).
