Esquites


A Mexican favorite of street vendors. Esquites refers to fresh kernels of field corn or sweet corn. Sometimes the kernels are fried and flavored and other times not. In the purest form corn is sauteed lightly with butter or lard and seasoned with epazote. There are many local variations some adding sausage, chiles, onions and even cheese. The mixture is frequently served up in little cups with a spoon. See recipes.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
