Diabetes, Obesity Mushroom in Mexico

2015-04-06 6

Diabetes and obesity have dramatically increased in Mexico, placing the country at the top of the list worldwide. A third of the population is seriously overweight and the country is number one worldwide in child obesity. Legislation is being considered to address this growing problem. Free exercise machines have been installed in some bus stops in the country's capital and the city government plans to offer free one-way passes for those performing 10 squats.
