In January the president of Mexico, Felipe Calederon, declared that the country now occupies the number one spot in adult and childhood obesity. It also holds the number one spot in childhood diabetes. Although this had been predicted for over 15 years, the Mexican population has not been educated enough to combat the dangers of consuming fast foods, sugars, fats, salts and carbohydrates in excess.
The trend that has been seen in the last few years is that Mexicans have oust traditional eating habits for a more modern take on consuming fast food. Although an effort was done to encourage eating more fruits and vegetables by advertising it on labels of processed foods, it was not enough and the effects of consuming junk food were never advertised. There was never a clear warning about the dangers of this change in lifestyle.
About 70% of the population in Mexico is overweight. Diseases related with obesity have become more prominent in Mexico and as result healthcare costs have risen dramatically. It is estimated that there has been about a 60% increase in healthcare costs directly associated with overweight and obesity. Another area of concern is the death rate from diabetes, which is the number one reason for death in the country. Unfortunately about 90% of the all the cases were triggered by overweight and obesity. However, the other side of the coin shows a high rate of malnutrition in rural areas. Seven out ten children suffer from malnutrition.

Número uno en obesidad, parte uno.
En enero, el presidente de México, Felipe Calederon, declaró que el país ocupa el lugar número uno en obesidad de adultos e infantil. También ocupa el primer lugar en diabetes infantil. Aunque se había predicho hace más de 15 años, la población mexicana no ha tenido la suficiente educación para combatir los peligros de consumir comida rápida, azúcares, grasas, sales y carbohidratos en exceso.
La tendencia que se ha visto en los últimos años es que los mexicanos han dejado los hábitos alimenticios tradicionales por uno más moderno de consumo de comida rápida. Aunque se ha hecho un esfuerzo para alentar a las personas a comer más frutas y verduras con publicidad en las etiquetas de los alimentos procesados, no fue suficiente y los efectos del consumo de alimentos chatarra nunca fueron publicados. Nunca hubo una clara advertencia sobre los peligros de este cambio en el estilo de vida.
Alrededor del 70% de la población en México sufre de sobrepeso. Enfermedades relacionadas con la obesidad se han vuelto más prominentes en México y como resultado de los costes sanitarios se han incrementado dramáticamente. Se estima que ha habido un aumento del 60% en los costes sanitarios directamente relacionados con el sobrepeso y la obesidad. Otra área de preocupación es la tasa de mortalidad de la diabetes, que es la razón número uno de muerte en el país. Lamentablemente el 90% de los todos los casos han sido provocadas por el sobrepeso y la obesidad. Sin embargo, la otra cara de la moneda muestra una alta tasa de desnutrición en las zonas rurales. Siete de cada diez niños sufren de desnutrición.
