Obesity

Did you know that Mexico is one of the fattest countries in the world? Mexico is the second fattest. 24.2% of the population is fat! That’s a lot of people. One of the reasons for this is because the rate of amount of people that eat fast food is growing. Each day, the development of more fast food industries grows. There are about 205 McDonalds in Mexico. And why do many people eat fast food? Because unfortunately it is really cheap and economical. And as you may know about 60% of the population suffers of poverty.
In Mexico it is very normal to see in the “tienditas” lots of junk food such as chips, soda, cookies, etc. and people consume it because its it practical and inexpensive. Sadly, healthy food such as fruits and vegetables or healthy snacks tends to be much more expensive. And because of this people tend to avoid eating healthy.
