The United States isn’t the only country with a growing child obesity problem. According to Mexican President Felipe Calderon, obesity among Mexican children has more than tripled overr the last 30 years. This week, Calderon announced a sweeping ban on unhealthy food in Mexican schools. The bold move would affect 25 million students in a country where as much as 26 percent of children are overweight. I think that this is a very good move by their President. Something has to be done about the obesity epidemic. Its good to see that some steps are being made to help the youth of this world make the right choices when it comes to eating. Obesity is very dangerous, and the issue needs to be taken head on, starting in schools.
