    Mexico is doing what the United States won’t do, stand up for the health of their citizens in the face of big business financial greed.

  2. Mexico is USA’s child. Making laws that should be personal decisions. It is wrong whatever country is mandating it. We all should have the dignity to make a personal decision that does not effect others! You are taking away a personal right.

    1. So many people now rely on social service such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the public health system in Mexico, that choosing to be obese and make poor health choices isn’t a personal choice anymore, it involves government money, which comes from an entire nation of taxpayers. Even people on private insurance pay skyrocket premiums to cover the cost of millions of open heart surgeries for people who were making “personal decisions” to be obese.

    2. well, let’s make the world perfect!!! If you read the media today everyone wants to be slim, fit and gluten free!!! Whooopoeee. Not everyone will live forever, get over it, you will die. People should be allowed the human decency to make choices. Get rid of money and corporate politics, then there would be no greed and people could make their own choices. Value your own choices because you had the right to make them yourself and no govt. did it for you!!!!!!

  3. Good!! At the bus station, they couldn’t understand why I took out the coke from my “lunch” bag and gave it back to them. They looked at me like I had 10 heads!! Lol
