It's weird how even Mexico, which is in essence a failed/failing state outright in where the legitimate executor of violence is becoming blurred between cartels and the government still manages to at least half ass tackle its social problems.
Last time my dad went all of the candies and snacks he brought back had HUGE, bright labels on them talking about the caloric content and how you should not feed these to children and how you will get fat and die (you are in the hole!!!) which is honestly kind of :thinking-about-it:
meanwhile everyone in USA is in absolutely awful health, half my coworkers have some kind of chronic injury or disease and it's just like "OH WELL NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT"
And it's not to say that these measures are effective, but I think we suffer a deeper problem in the USA where no one can even say anything is wrong let alone make a show of half concern like this. If you even mention that we're all obese or chronically sleep deprived or really anything wrong you just get shouted down. Meanwhile, in Mexico pretty much EVERYONE knows everything is fucked and at least protests against the govt. in some capacity however small or tries to fucking do something about the violence by strapping up
what's that you say? more corn syrup in the whole wheat bread? :biden-troll: you got it Jack

I'm all about grey-box advertising. Stuff only comes in grey boxes with a brief description of what is contained within. The People's Commissariat of Foodstuffs provide pressed wheat satchels and we will like it.
Nah man, the only solution is that Whole Foods shit where they keep all the food in bulk and just dump it into your bags by the pound.
Nah, let's nix the advertising but distribute The People's Wheat in pretty floral pattern that can be reused for home sewing. Just because we're planning things centrally doesn't mean everything has to be depressing and ugly
Would be extremely based if Mexico applied these laws to products going through the border Amazon warehouses with a fine-toothed laser guided comb.
Crazy that the US laws against advertising to children were only repealed in the late 70s. Feels like it's always been like this, but not that long ago everyone knew it was fucked up to use your master's degree in fine art to make kids throw temper tantrums until their parents spent $900 a year on milk soaked cocaine with flashy mascots
It's all bullshit anyway. They say this is about the children, oh won't someone think of the kids. But the reality is that the Mexican government is just scarred of the thirsty furries on Twitter going after Tony the Tiger.
