      Because we are used to anytime someone mentions a product name, they were paid to do so.

      But this is just an interesting and useful government intervention to correct a capitalism-derived problem.

          Well, with it being a “relatively” healthy alternative to excessively refined sugar based chocolates, stressing that it is better to eat than American chocolate is pretty important. The idea is to sell it to the populace effectively enough that the reduction in medical spending outweighs or strongly supplements the manufacturing cost.

          So it is also kind of an ad in that sense. Just not written for eyes outside of Mexico.
