This is our fault isn’t it?

[Right Wing Assault]

Make Mexico less obese again, kill NAFTA!

[exDemMom]

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.

slathering fried hot dogs with pepperoni and cheese

That sounds... kinda delicious.

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

Indians get fat when they eat fast food and drink beer? Who knew? /s

[This_Dude]

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.

Nothing new, always fat .

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.

[RocketMan1]

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.

[Robert A Cook PE]

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.

[WilliamCooper1]

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.

[EinNYC]

Ahem...my lacrimal glands fail to engage at this. Quick, somebody post Boohoo Girl. Like she gives a flying fig either...

[Vlad The Inhaler]

I don’t know about other areas but where I live if you want to see obesely fat Mexicans just go to Walmart.

They are there even if you don’t want to see them!

A Nasty, Nafta-Related Surprise: Mexico’s 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.

[Bigg Red]

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

[Seruzawa]

High fructose corn syrup.
