Published: 4 February 2015
''Mexico is trying to do the impossible. It’s attempting to reduce its enormous obesity problem with a modest 10% flavoured drink tax it imposed on January 1, 2014.'' Â
''Mexico is arguably the world’s fattest country, with obesity and diabetes levels having gone through the roof. Mexicans also consume lots of soft drinks: 163 liters per capita each year compared to 70 liters per capita in Canada.''
