PRD deputies have proposed this weekend that the food scrap contain a warning about the damages caused to health.
This project is part of the reforms to the General Health Act and is expected to slightly slow down the obesity rate that currently attacking Mexico.
the legislator Andres Eloy Martinez Rojas has been who has given to concoct this intention to do something about the poor diet of Mexicans, seeking to include the legend ‘ abuse in the consumption of this product is harmful to health ’ in different varieties of fried food, sweets and artificial juices which are sold in Mexico.
Low nutritional value of these foods and constant publicity they receive are some of the causes of because in Mexico eating habits are so bad and, as mentioned, contribute to obesity and even diabetes at an early age.
Consumption of soft drinks in Mexico is around 300 million cases a year, with sales of 15,000 $ 500 million; whereas that one of every three teenagers have obesity or overweight, we can consider that the rate of consumption in Coca Cola and bottled juice full of sugar and low nutrient value is alarming.
Every two hours, recorded five deaths from diabetes, an evil that is commonly associated with older adults but that may now be attacking preschoolers: renal complications, blindness is suffering and even in amputation of limbs by the complicated of evil.
Actually has done little to resolve and tackle childhood obesity; it is a very serious health problem that should interest us, because if we do not do something now, regret it in the future .
Is also emphasized that they must make programs to promote good nutrition, stressing that eating healthy is available to all Mexicans and that obesity can be prevented and eliminated along with weekly physical activity.
What about this proposal? do you think to go ahead or to be an idea that is saved for other things?
