The United States has long been known as a country that dominated the fat people, either because of his consumption of fast food is high. But this year 'achievements' of the superpower itself was captured by the Mexican neighbors.
Almost similar to the conditions in the United States, Mexico has been named as the country with the most obese population in the world because the diet is dominated fast food and carbonated drinks are sold cheaply. In addition to eating fast food imports from the U.S., almost every day Mexican communities also take their traditional fast food, such as tacos, tamales and quesadillas are high in calories.
WHO reports that 70 percent of Mexican adults are overweight and one third are obese. This epidemic also appears most prominent among the poor and the young generation. Even many of whom are also suffering from malnutrition due to poor diet.
Ironically, this condition is also accompanied by high rates of malnutrition and hunger among the Mexican population, especially the middle and lower economic conditions.
Two years ago the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has also been announced that the national weight gain in Mexico has reached emergency levels, but the state government has proven difficult to tackle this problem.
This is partly because the crisis is happening so fast. Whereas in 1989, Mexico adults who have weight problems in number no more than 10 percent. This condition is clearly different from that of recent years.
Investigate a investigate, some studies found that the Mexican people eat more processed foods than in previous years and the consumption of whole grains and vegetables, vegetables increasingly declining.
And proved this year for the first time Mexico one step more 'advanced' than its neighbors, the United States with a population obesity rate reached 32.8 percent, while the rate of obesity in the United States recorded its population of 31.8 percent. This was quoted by the Daily Mail, Wednesday (10/07/2013).
