Having lived in Mexico, may I say - Could it be the diet??? But but but I thought Americans were the fattest in all the land. This has to be America’s fault, right? Since we have made their lives miserable?? There are probably grants in this.
And how much $$ did they spend to ‘discover’ this amazing fact?...............
So much for my mom saying “eat your dinner or I’ll send it to starving children in Ecuador”.
Too many tortillas, too many carbohydrates.
Plus, in Mexico regular sugared coca-cola is sold on virtually every street corner.
The same study noted that 100% of UN employees had larger than normal noses. I thought that was a rather tangential finding.
Those slim enough to make a run for it are already HERE.
Beans and rice and tortillas, repeat thrice daily in addition to other foods. No surprise. Way too many carbs being taken in daily.
These are just round figures.....
SALT has no calories. It has absolutely nothing to do with obesity.
I must be blind.
I dont recall very many fat Mexicans or Chileans and I’ve been to both countries plenty.
Especially compared to the number of bovine creatures exiting Walmart, when I visited my Mom in Owasso, OK a while back.
Perhaps, I could recommend the widely hailed “Venezuelan Diet”.
So El Chunko...good luck getting over the wall.
Wait a minute - didn’t the Guardian’s idol Paul Ehrlich predict 40 years ago that everyone was going to starve to death?
57% of Black females in the USA are obese, not over-weight, obese.
Latinos are genetically predisposed to getting diabetes.
Not a huge problem when they stick to a traditional fiber rich Mexican diet with corn, beans, chiles and such being a routine staple.
As they migrate to a high sugar standard American diet they run into big trouble, obesity being one major health problem.
