The following is an editorial. It's an opinion
piece only. The regular Joe Cube public may believe
anything he hears and sees, but not here at Two
Douchebags Microphone. Here at Two Douchebags
Microphone, we question everything. That's why
we have a little segment we'd like to call, I
Call Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.
And our way from San Cristobal. The indigenous
town of San Andres, locals consider the fizzy
beverage liquid gold. Shamans will use it as
part of their religious ceremonies and regularly
pray over bottles of Coca -Cola as they carry
out rituals. Fridges stocked with bottles of
Coke sit next to their sacred shrines, ready
to sell to faithful locals and use them as offerings,
as many believe the drink has healing powers.
But religion is not the only reason for the state's
dependency on Coca -Cola, and behind the ritual
lies a dark reality. With the growing population,
safe drinking water has become increasingly scarce
in the area. With some neighborhoods only having
access to running water a few times a week, just
7 % of households in Chippewas believe their
water is safe to drink. According to the 2023
National Survey, force a man to buy bottled water
or fizzy drink, which is just as cheap. A local
plant owned by FESMA, a food and drink conglomerate
that owns the rights to bottle and sell Coca
-Cola in Latin America, is allowed to extract
more than 1 .3 million liters of water a day
as part of a concession with the federal government,
all while local communities struggle to find
safe drinking water. I call bullshit on the Mexican
government, the government of Chipas, and Coca
-Cola. I think it's clear that the gleaned water
has been confiscated and sold back as Coca -Cola.
forcing these people into lives of obesity and
diabetes. Oh, this is my opinion? There you go.
I call bullshit.
