They can easily fix this problem by establishing a citizen exchange program with venezuela. Mexico gets thinner, and venezuela can extend its food supply-chain.

This is great! Pretty soon, they’ll be too fat to climb over the wall and too big to fit through those tunnels. Mexico problem solved.

I just got back after 8 weeks in the peninsula. EVERYTHING was fast food, chips, bags of sweets and candy in the small stores. Sure, not supermarkets. But those were little better. Typical body was short and round. Male and female, old and young.

My ex-wife was Mexican and I can tell you from experience they have horrible eating habits. Salt and sugar is the main ingredient to everything. In 5 years my ex gained 50 lbs. But somehow it was my fault. Funny how it always works that way.
To: WilliamCooper1
I respectfully ask about your ex wife’s opinion of exercise to combat the intake of salt and sugar.

A Nasty, Nafta-Related Surprise: Mexicos Soaring Obesity
Bienvenidos a nuestro mundo, cabrones! Jajajaja!
En serio, if Mexicans would stick to Mexican food, rice, beans, meat, cheese, etc. they would be fine. It is all the crappy fast food and wheat based stuff that is killing them. The lineages considered native to the Americas, from what I understand, aren't well adapted to digesting wheat because wheat was not native to the Americas, and was only brought when the Euros came. Mexicans should stick to corn.

Well, of course, everyone knows the real cause: Trump’s fault.

Likely fat because of our food additives and poor quality meats and vegetables grown in unnatural soil and covered with pesticides. We do things with our food that the rest of the world blocks as unhealthy. Not only is much of our food of low quality it also has very little taste. We have been dumbed down, so we hardly are aware of it.

Mexicans are more than fat. Theyre lazy.
Untrue generalization. Ever see a crew of them put up a house? How about working the fields as migrant workers?

Free trade. has played havoc with the American
industry, the Mexican farmers can raise crops
for a fraction of what we can then bring it up
here and sell it for a little less than we do.
Make big profits the middle men making the most
leaving our farmers to sell to housing developers
or. Or going broke.
The forests burning up innstead of being cultivated.
