America Is No Longer the Most Obese Country in the World (http://gawker.com/america-is-no-longer-the-most-obese-country-in-the-worl-714151306)
Bad news, patriots: According to a new UN study, (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57592714/mexico-takes-title-of-most-obese-from-america/) America is no longer the most obese country among more populous nations. That honor, which, according to another study, Americans held as recently as March (http://*******/U5OVtQ), now belongs to Mexico.
Roughly 70 percent of Mexicans are overweight and almost one-third are obese. Nearly a third of Mexican teenagers are also obese, a number that has tripled in the last decade alone. The vast majority of those teenagers will remain overweight for their entire lives, the study said, which could lead to weight-related health issues such as diabetes. As many as 70,000 people in Mexico die each year from diabetes, a number "roughly equal to the deaths authorities say are caused by more than six years of the country's gangland wars."
