We also talked about the «Ley de Etiquetado Frontal»,

a very important project that has been approved

last week in the senate.

"la norma plantea la colocación de una serie de sellos frontales,

que serían octógonos de color negro, en los envases de aquellos

alimentos y bebidas con altos contenidos de sodio, azúcares,

grasas saturadas, grasas totalesy calorías."

omething like the "nutriscore" system used in Europe,

this law is of great importance in a country in which

30% of the kids are overweight and 6% obese.
