I don't think it was the Mexican farmers that gave us diabeetus. I'd blame it on the sugar cartels in the US.

You can blame the sugar cartels all you want, The truth is if you’re an American, you finance this shit through your taxes. Corporations suck, but what sucks more is that people don’t realize they help pay for their own slow demise in the name of profit.

Oh for sure, the broader argument to me would be about sugar subsidies. I don't support subsidizing the sugar/corn/meat industries. If I had a magic wand I'd much rather those taxes subsidize more nutrient dense foods.
