Mexicans' growing weight is largely a byproduct of rising consumer spending aided by U.S. free trade, said Rivera, a nutritionist.

There you have it - It's our fault.

Yes, that all-American diet of refried beans with lard and tortillas soaked in lard is what is doing it.

Naw. Fattest country on earth is a record that is OURS! We own it, we made it, we developed it, we nurtured it, we grew it, we did not suppress it, and now we don't want the UN controlling or taxing it. That fat ass and fat gut are ours and ours alone.

They'll work it off on that cross-border sprint.

I suppose US junk-food manufacturers are holding down poor Mexicans and cramming their products down their victims' throats. /sarc

I don't know if it's relevant, but we live in a farming community, where half the residents of the town are Mexicans (or Mexican-Americans, or illegals...no one really knows). The local high school is on the next block from where we live, so we are "treated" every day with a parade of students heading to school, then off to lunch, then back from lunch. First, the vast majority of the Mexican kids are obese. Secondly, all they seem to eat is cr@p (judging from the discarded food/candy wrapper they leave littered on our lawn). Thirdly, the bad habits begin early in life, as many pre-school-aged kids we see in town are also grossly overweight. I don't know if there's a cultural factor here, or what, but this isn't because of "US free trade policies."

We suck, apparently.

Yet as much as we suck, we apparently have awesome mind control that totally negates the free will of stupid people in other nations.

So the Mexicans ignore their own superior diet (as long as you don't drink the water, amigo) to bloat up on ours.

And the French ignore their own superior cinema (if you think that wart-headed Gerard Depardieu is sexy and mimes have something meaningful to express) for our brutish film efforts.

And Germans toss their peculiar death-opera music efforts aside for the musical glory that is Hasselhoff.

Evil us. Well, Hasselhoff anyway.

I feel like Mike Torrez, the Boston Red Sox pitcher who served up the fastball that Bucky F*ckin Dent popped for a homer to allow the Yankees to win the divisional title. He bore this burden for a long time. Years later, Torrez was announcing the ballgame when the Bosox were playing the Mets in the World Series. In game 6, Mookie Wilson hit a feeble grounder to the gimpy Bill Buckner at first base. As the ball rolled through Buckner's legs and into right field, the winning runned scored. The first thing Torrez says in the Red Sox announcing booth is "I'm off the hook." LOL. That's how I feel today. Thank you Mexico, we're off the hook.

Maybe they need to cut back on siestas?

It's also our fault with black people. I was in a Toys R Us this past weekend (no recall of whether they had "holiday" or "Christmas" advertising, sorry) that had a lot of black women. I remember thinking to myself: why are all of these women so grossly obese??

>>"wean kids off of pizza and fries">>>>

And put them back on bean, tortillas and tamales, I guess. That's an improvement. NOT!

Good, maybe we can see them and catch them better when they come across the border.

well I am glad that there are some negative reprocussions to the blight that illegal immigration has cost us.

Bankrupt hospitals, overcrowded housing, schools, bloated welfare rolls, traffic congestion, just to mention a couple of problems associated with these parasitic people imposing themselves on us.

By the way they laugh at us for being so stupid to not do anything about it. I know, I live in a suburb outside of L.A., and see it every day.

Yep, it's our fault that Mexicans are sedentary because they are sitting around waiting for their checks from the US to come through.
