当前,墨西哥的肥胖率已达到32.8%,一跃超过美国的31.8%而成为世界“最胖国家”。在该国的大街小巷,肥胖人群随处可见。造成墨西哥高肥胖率的主要原因,和其国民过度摄入垃圾食品等不甚健康的饮食习惯有着直接的联系。由肥胖症所引发的糖尿病及各类慢性疾病,已严重威胁到该国的国民健康。为此,墨西哥于2013年10月底,由参众两院通过了开征垃圾食品特别税的专门法案,力图减少墨西哥国民对于不健康食品的摄入,以应对垃圾食品的过度消耗而引发的肥胖率及糖尿病发病率。图 At present, Mexico’s obesity rate has reached 32.8%, surpassing the United States’s 31.8% and becoming the world’s “fattest country.” In the country’s streets, obese people can be seen everywhere. The main cause of high rates of obesity in Mexico is directly linked to the unhealthy eating habits of its citizens, such as excessive consumption of junk food. Diabetes caused by obesity and various chronic diseases have seriously threatened the national health of the country. To this end, at the end of October 2013, Mexico passed a special bill for levying junk food specials by both houses of the House of Representatives in an attempt to reduce Mexican nationals’ intake of unhealthy food and to deal with the obesity rate caused by excessive consumption of junk food and The incidence of diabetes.
