Mexico now 2nd Fatest Nation

I think America's fatness is one of our key exports now.
More than 71 percent of Mexican women and 66 percent of Mexican men are
overweight, according to the latest national surveys.
With diabetes now Mexico's leading cause of death, activists and leaders hope to renew efforts to crack down on junk food and other fatty-food consumption and encourage citizens to exercise more.

I wonder how diabetes has passed heart disease as the top cause of death? Is it a genetic thing or what? In any case I think Mexico may be heading for a health crisis in a few years if that many Mexicans are obese.
