Mexico City Cops Put on Diet

Mexico City cops are not just going to be tackling crime.
The Mexican capital is placing 1,300 of its most overweight police officers on a diet, due to the growing concern about their rapidly expanding waistlines.
At least 70 percent of the 70,000-member force is overweight, stated Nora Frias, the city’s Public Safety deputy secretary for citizen participation.
The diet plan is going to be introduced for officers with the greatest weight-related health problems.
Frias added, “You can’t tell someone. Leave out the tacos, just have sandwiches.'”
The advice to the most overweight police officers is to eat a sandwich at lunchtime and tacos at dinner time, balancing it with some vegetables .
She said that the officers in question are going to be given blood pressure and cholesterol tests to work out a personalised diet plan for each.
Mexico is nearing the United States as one of the world’s chunkiest countries, so says the Mexican government. Approximately, 50% of Mexico’s 110 million people are overweight, and numbers of fat children increasing 8 percent per year in the last decade.
