The obesity epidemic isn’t just a problem here in the United States. Mexico is on track to catch up with us within a decade as one of the world’s fattest countries, according to the Mexican government.
Hence the new campaign, Vamos Por Un Million de Kilos (Let’s Lose a Million Kilos), a national program to get Mexicans to shed about 2 million pounds altogether. The project includes requiring more physical education in public schools and encouraging employers and unions to give workers time for exercise.
