Salsa De Guajes

This recipe is from Diana Kennedy's My Mexico.  It is an example of one of the traditional uses for guaje seeds.  She recommends making this salsa in a traditional stone molcajete.  The sauce should remain textured, not smooth.  Serve with tacos or tostadas.

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?
