Jarro

Other names: jarro chocolatero

A Mexican clay pitcher or jug. The jarro shown is from Oaxaca, Mexico. This is a very traditional chocolate pot from San Bartolo. The dark green glaze is typical to Oaxaca. To use, the ingredients are placed inside the pot then frothed with a molinillo. These pieces typically contain lead and if available at all in the U.S. they are for "decorative" purposes only.

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?
