        @WSJ Mexico is a beautiful country with happy people ! They love to eat, drink and live long. Balancing will help.

        @pthakkar9 I wonder if it's really being uneducated? Back to cigarettes, do people not know it's bad to smoke? They still do.

        @leviw probably they are not educated on alternatives, which are *less* harmful

        @WSJ 5% obesity tax would obviously be ineffective in combating obesity but will surely earn extra bucks for the sovereign. 50% might work.
