Hey, great news. We are no longer the most obese nation in the world. That distinction now belongs to Mexico.

Huzzah!

More good news. Obesity is now catagorized as a disease, and as such can be treated under the Affordable Care Act just like all diseases. You no longer have to say you are fat, you can now say you are suffering from obesity.

We have exported our obesity problem by way of American fast-food franchises.

It's likely they are American owned restaurants. Taco Bell is owned by Yum! Brands Inc..

So from this one could deduce that the solutions for the obese Mexicans is to induce them to come to the U.S. to work it off as FLOTUS says is the solution in "Let's Move" campaign.... Yes. Let's Move to a neighboring country where manual labor jobs provide physical exercise and then let's send the earnings back home to feed the family.

I believe that obesity is a mental disorder as much as I believe sex addiction is. The obesity claim plays to the political dynamic. I believe it harms people with weight problems. It is obvious some peoples obesity problem are linked to genetics. I also believe that some folks just don't want to exercise will power. These problems are associated with secular notions that we are entitled to whatever we want . I want my food, sex smoke, drugs and I want it now!

I go to Mexico frequently and they LOVE Coka-Cola. Lots of them seem to be round, short people with lots of anterior dental work which usually means excess and frequent sugar consumption.
