In Mexico, rampant soda drinking has continually contributed to obesity and health issues. Now, Mexico plans to pass a soft-drink tax. But is this a way to combat rising obesity rates? Or, according to this NY Times op-ed writer, is the tax going to contribute to corruption in Mexico? The government stands to collect $1 billion every year from the soft-drink tax.
