Analysis of the official resolution to implement the IEPS tax, to sugar beverages
1. What are the arguments of the DOF article?
• “The high consumption of sugar-added beverages contributes notoriously to excess
energy intake and is an important factor in the development of overweight and obesity
in Mexico”
• “the high prevalence of overweight and obesity represents an enormous public health
issue in Mexico”
• “it is essential to reinforce effective policies and programs for obesity prevention. In this
sense, any effort to diminish the adverse effects of this situation and the cost involved
for its treatment should be analyzed not only from a purely public health policy, which is
why a fiscal measure will most likely contribute to the aforementioned purposes.”
2. Which consistencies or inconsistencies did you find in the document?
In this case, problem is the overweight and obesity problem in Mexico, representing a public
health issue. The root cause for it is attributed to the consumption of sugar added soft drinks, and a
financial tax is imposed on them. While sugar added soft drinks may be a key factor for the growth of
the problem, there might be other multiple factors at play, also no statistics or concise data is
mentioned. Moreover, raising taxes on this kind of products might not be the proper solution for the
problem.
3. Which biases or errors did you find in the arguments (bad arguments, fallacies, omissions,
false inferences and deceptive statistics)?
The text only contains superlative language pointing towards the problem and no demographic
information, neither related to the consumption of sugar added soft drinks is provided.
4. Can conclusions be drawn from the arguments?
It would not be wise, more information on the root cause and the impact of both the problem
and proposal of solution should be laid out.
5. Is the person’s point of view derived from his or her research?
The text mentions root cause-effect phenomena but does not provide for clear information that
explains that relationships, so it might not be derived from proper research, and if so, it is not
adequately backed by the information of it.
6. How are you ordering your own arguments (to avoid being unfocused)?
First, I understood the purpose of the exercise to know how to take on the task. Then I read
the header of the document to identify if I knew something related to the topic and cross-
reference it with the content of it, next I read it thoroughly to understand its contents, structure,
arguments, and points of view according to the task, and to the knowledge I have regard the
topic. After, I assessed the information I had in comparison to that the text and vice versa.
Finally, I carried out this task.
