They want us to believe that they need to be in America to get a better life
This is a picture of Mexico in 2011
reminds me of America.
How Mexico got so fat and is now more obese than America
- Almost 33 percent of Mexicans are now obese and 70 percent overweight
- The poor and young are worst affected, often both malnourished and fat
- Mexican food is traditionally high in calories, fatty and fried
- U.S. restaurant chains opening up in the country aren't helping the problem
- Growth in waistlines is due to increases in income and urban lifestyles
