Well, in terms of fatness the population is definately getting fatter, but its going to go down because we just hit a recession. The only reason fats exist here is because of the oil money, but we don't have that anymore. The government is really in debt and AFAIK they're trying to take money from the banks because they're all out and government employees aren't always getting consistent pay. Also protesting is now illegal and there are no more term limits for president, so that sucks. It seems the people are fighting back though, because on New years eve most of the anos viejos (I don't know how to make a tilde on ths computer) which are effigies that we burn on new years were green sheep with sandwiches. They represent the sheeple that are blindly following the president and the "fake protestors" that the government paid with sandwiches to counter the anti government protesters.

I mean we put graphic pictures of diseased lungs on cigarette boxes now and people still smoke, not sure how much a stoplight would help raise awareness let alone be particularly useful in a health context since carbs/fats don't make you obese, its portioning that does that.
I mean yeah, cookies are fatty/sugary, no shit. People can figure that out without a warning label, besides the only pertinent information for weight management, the calories, are prominently displayed on every packaged product in America, people just ignore it.
