Ditch Nafta, make Mexico thin again!
Actually, I thought the obesity was caused by the fact that Mexican food is absolutely the best food in the world.

I thought global warming was making people fat. Or was it starving them to death. Can never the that straight.

I read an article 20 years or so ago. Them combination of beans and rice had an extra beneficial effect on health and that was why Mexicans were less obese and had better cardio health than the US.
To: morphing libertarian
I do believe beans and rice together make up a complete protein. Something’ bout’ amino acids. Mexicans are more than fat. They’re lazy. Food is very cheap these days.

I spend a LOT of time in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. I have family there and live within 200 paces of the border in Brownsville. Those people are way more gordo than us, generally speaking. Their fast food is as good as ours at about half the cost, ish. Chips, sodas, etc. are phenomenally cheap, think 65 cents or so for a 1 liter. I can get a double bacon cheeseburger for about $2 with fries and a big soda, and $1 more will get a medium milkshake with 1 refill. Mexican grocery stores are quite a sight and their food is generally amazing.

Whenever I go to a local Jack In The Box, which employs mostly hispanic, I have to make sure I clearly state “No Quiero Queso!” I do not want any cheese!
Otherwise, they will put one or two slices on it, without even asking you first. Then, I must check it before I drive away. Sometimes they reflexively put the cheese on my burger after I said I didn’t want it.
Many, if not most spanish culture entres’ revolve around cheese or dairy; Quesadillas being another one.
Desserts too. There is one popular cake called “Tres-Leche-Cake. This cake is made with three layers, Cake, filling and topping. There are four kinds of milk in the filling and topping recipe; whole milk, condensed milk and evaporated milk. In addition to heavy cream. Not a cake I would choose for myself, too rich. Still very popular.

And further complicated by the fact that global warming causes global cooling and the wind blows stronger when theres a President Trump.
