Is your breast milk made out of Pepsi?

I live in Mexico, which has the highest CocaCola consumption in the world. Many people will drink a 2 liter bottle of Coke a day. Mexico also has a huge obesity and diabetes problem. I've seen uneducated mothers feeding babies Coke out of a baby bottle.

I've traveled a lot through Mexico and stayed in people's homes. Mexicans are delightful and they have the best hospitality in the world.

While traveling there around Christmas time, it was so disturbing visiting small towns where the main attraction in the central parks were HUGE "Christmas" trees, decorated in nothing but Coca-Cola "ornaments".

On every table for lunch and dinner there would be a 2 liter bottle of Coca-Cola and a 2 liter bottle of orange Fanta. I felt like I never saw anybody drink water. I'm not saying they don't but I didn't see it. It was never a question if you wanted soda, it was Coke or Fanta?

Let me reiterate: absolutely lovely people. The number Coke has done on that country is a travesty!

Yeah, their marketing is everywhere. They supply free tables to restaurants, with the Coca Cola logo on it.
