Are they going to ban tacos too?

I spent quite a bit of time in Nogales, Mexico and ate as many tacos as I could get my hands on. Across the board they were far healthier than anything I can get from a fast food restaurant in the states. The tacos in (Sonora) Mexico generally consist of: Corn tortilla, meat, cabbage, onions, cilantro. Optional hot salsa.

Hot salsa is not optional.

I'm confident you can construct an unhealthy taco, but is there anything inherently wrong with tacos? Fundamentally it's just a bit of meat, veggies and cheese. The tortilla is grain and thus arguably not great, but tortillas are pretty small compared to the average sandwich bread.

Sandwich bread is mostly air, tortillas are smaller, but they seem to contain a lot more substance.

Tortillas are made from nixtamal, which has some nutritional improvements over raw/heat-only corn.

tacos are not traditionally served in Oaxaca and are probably not a major contributor to obesity there. why say something so low-brow?

No.
