FOOD FIGHT:
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WAS FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM of EATING!!!
The Mexicans have morphed into the 1775 Brits:

“On the 23d of June 1775 Gen Bayley prepared an address to the Northern Indians which is here given in full Newbury Coos June 23 1775 -
`The present war is only between the King and a part of the Lords and America. The Lords say all Americans shall become slaves or servants to them, shall plow no more than they say, EAT NOR DRINK nor hunt BUT ONLY BY THEIR LEAVE, shall not kill deer, moose, beaver or any other thing but by their consent. Americans say they will and that the King by the Lords advice has sent redcoats to kill us if we will
not be subject to what they say. And we have thirty thousand men with guns great and small to fight in our defense; we only want to live as we have lived heretofore. We do not want to fight if they would let us alone.”p73

The present war is only between the King and a part of the Lords and America.

I get his point, but it's inaccurate. The Commons voted overwhelmingly, 278 to 108, to support the King.

A greater margin than the Lords. 69 to 29.
