Mexico has overtaken the US as the world's fattest country with 70 percent of adults overweight or obese. I recently returned from Mexico, where I was told that they are transitioning from a developing country (3rd world) to a developed country (1st world). Obesity problems are not a concern in less affluent countries because having too much food is a rich country problem. You must have extra money to buy too much food. So as Mexico's wealth increases, so will obesity. The food in Mexico is delicious, but this is disappointing to see. Please see the article below.
