Wow, that brought back memories of teenaged single moms on the city bus feeding their sickly babies soda in a baby bottle. It literally made my bones ache to see how greyish the babies' skin were.
Once I witnessed 3 toddlers under 3, each consume about 1.5 litres of soda , plus candy, cookies and about 3 magnum bars of ice cream each. One of the mothers wondered aloud why her child had such bad behaviour problems...gee, because sugar is crack cocaine for children...and this woman was not poor or uneducated either.
I came to Buenos Aires for Tango, and stayed for Love. After nearly four years of living here, just when I think I have seen it all, the city and her people will surprise me.

OH OH. Ugh. :(
Poor babies...
Oh, that's so sad. It must be even harder for you to see that as a new mom.
I can't tell you much this disturbs me.
