Us No Longer Fattest American Country!

let's talk about bobi city the u_s_ has accomplished something very very significant well i don't know if the u_s_ has accomplished at maybe by not doing anything but the u_s_ is no longer the fattest country in the americas the country with the highest obesity rates mexico has now inched passed the u_s_ with a thirty two point eight percent obesity rate among adults now the u_s_ is at thirty one point eight this makes mexico the most obese country in the western hemisphere and it's also one of the fattest countries on the planet the other places if you curious that have high obesity rates there are some territories in the pacific ocean including now world which has a seventy one percent obesity rate as well as the cook islands which have a sixty four percent obesity rate and the marshall islands at forty six percent obesity those are higher than mexico and the u_s_ now for mexico this is actually bringing a lot of ignorant statements there's a lot of really and i have to admit that that they're very irritating boneheaded comment saying wire mexicans coming to the u_s_ to take our jobs there clearly doing so well they can afford enough food to get fat as we know it's you don't need to have a lot of money for food to become obese in fact a lot of the problem is that the cheapest foods are the ones that are most highly processed and often contained in the u_s_ subsidized ingredients like corn which are unhealthy but also cheaper per calorie so the fact that someone is over weight is it's not this kind of a d_a_ that hey you're overweight so things are plentiful and everything's wonderful is really pretty pretty boneheaded and and uh... a disturbing that people make that argument yesterday surprising that in mexico has now no fall into this category theirs they do uh... use a lot of fresh produce and good fruits and vegetables um... and uh... i'd even in the places where investor or your call it a food desert you still have a lot of farms and people people throwing around banks i don't know what it is and should be happy about this no well i mean it's it's it's really not is the u_s_ in and if you'll be city problem in the u_s_ is so bad that we have to point to the fact that mexico has one percentage point more of a b city tipping were doing something right we've set the bar disgusting we low but the two to talk about what you said about fresh ingredients in mexico aljazeera actually reported on this and it said that a lot of this obesity problem is happening because mexicans have very very quickly came to their diet from one dominated by beans in fresh ingredients and and locally grown quorum like you said to one that has tons of processed fat tons of refined sugars and and a lot of it is a financial thing that these foods are becoming cheaper to produce cheap to buy more filling and and that's kinda what it is here's the answer uh... horrified in next door post karthik
