Sugary drink advocacy, Mexican style
The creatively active Mexican advocacy group, El Poder del Consumidor, launched a new video take-off on Coca-Cola ads—“Haz feliz a alguien” (“Make someone happy”)—with a demonstration on Mexico City’s Zocalo in front of the National Cathedral.
They sent along a translation of the video:
What would make you happy this Christmas?
That my dad were here with us.

Make someone happy this Christmas.
50,000 people in Mexico are blind because of diabetes.
Someone’s limb is amputated every 7 minutes because of diabetes.
In Mexico, 66 people die each day from drinking sugary drinks.
Make someone happy.
