    Doesn't looking for conspiracies everywhere get exhausting?

    There are tons and all she does is copy and paste. Doesn't really require much thought or energy when doing it like that, to be honest.

    What ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

    sheesh.. i cannot be blamed for Mexicos' population deciding to overeat.

    It's not a problem of over eating for most people ( with the equivalent of the hourly minimum wages being -.60 of a US$ and milk, meat and similar goods costing the same or more than in the US) ) but over drinking.
    I can buy a three liter bottle of a soft drink for US$-.80, but water cost way more than that. And you are right, many factors play into this but American people are not to blame. But the Mexican government can be blamed for not providing a system with clean drinking water.
    I am however curious as to what in Mexico uses all that HFCS that supposedly comes into Mexico according to this article. The Mexican soft drink industry is proud of the fact and makes it known that all Mexican soft drinks are made with cane sugar and not with HFCS. Also, I live a 30 million urban area and must say, that while I see of course many overweight people and and also some obese people on a daily basis, I have hardly ever seen people as grotesquely obese as they often appear in the US. I wonder if the statistics make no difference between overweight, severely overweight , obese and mortally obese.

    Maybe everyone should stop eating so much goddamn fatty food and blaming it on everyone but themselves. HEAVEN FORBID!

    What's wrong with fat? You do know you need that, right? I'm sure what you really meant was overeating in general, not eating food specific foods. :flowerforyou:

    I get fat every time I even think about Mexican food so I call BS!

    True story. The amount of fat and calories in Mexican food seems to indicate that they are the ones trying to fatten the United States. I think they're trying to make you see what you want to see. The powers that be want you to think that the U.S. is doing this when clearly Mexico is in control of taking over America by way of burrito and nacho chips.

    I actually blame Mexico for making me fat .... I love green chili and refried beans... and don't even talk to me about Al Pastor pork or tres leches cakes...

    You are clearly on the payroll of Big Turkey Tail or Big Corn Sugar. :angry:

    I'm also in contract works with Big Fast Food. Sometimes I have lunch with Big Gay Al, because I'm fabulous.

    Its all about the money just follow the money
    But the focus on promoting unhealthy lifestyles abroad has also increased, ironically, because the United States has succeeded in promoting healthier ones at home. Americans are eating less fast food and ingesting fewer calories than they did a decade ago - a trend that should begin to lower U.S. obesity rates, which have largely plateaued. San Francisco actually tried to ban McDonald's Happy Meals because they target kids with fat and sugar, and this summer Taco Bell announced it is dropping food-toy combos for children altogether. As eating patterns have changed, the food industry has looked to new markets. Take high-fructose corn syrup. U.S. consumption, at around 27 pounds per capita last year, has declined in large part due to mounting concerns that it is an important driver in the obesity epidemic. So American corn producers have looked to export markets to pick up the slack. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2012 the United States exported 1.47 million metric tons of fructose, a 1,450 percent increase from 1995. - See more at: http://mcalesternews.com/features/x1253343348/How-America-is-exporting-its-obesity-epidemic#sthash.tFXCK2s8.dpuf{/quote]
