MARTIN FLETCHER: Every Sunday in Mexico City tens of thousands answer
their presidents challenge: to exercise one hour a day. Mexicos health
ministry says its citizens are too fat.
.
Yoga class along the citys main Reforma Avenue. Nearby, Zumba. Five
straight hours of Latin American dance and aerobics. All overseen by
Horacio de la Vega, a Mexican pentathlete in two Olympics.
.
You see that 30 percent of people in Mexico are obese and 70percent are
overweight.
.
HORACIO DE LA VEGA, MEXICO CITY INSTITUTE OF SPORT: Yes.
.
MARTIN FLETCHER: And youre an Olympic athlete. How do you feel about that?
.
HORACIO DE LA VEGA: Its a very important problem. Its sad that we actually
came to this point. Its painful, but it has a lot to do with education,
with the culture, and were trying to make a lot of efforts to make this
revert.
.
MARTIN FLETCHER: We met Diana Cardona at the Zumba dance. At barely five
feet, this thirty year old mother has struggled with her weight her whole
life. Zumba has helped her lose 20 pounds shes hoping to lose 20 more.
The Zumba class is certainly hard to resist a catchy part of what Mexico
calls its three pillars to fight obesity.
.
So this is the pillar number one: more exercise for the people. I think
Ive lost a little bit of weight. Maybe.
.
After more sport comes number two: a healthier diet. But its pillar number
three that has the whole world watching.
.
Taxation of junk food. With one and a half billion people overweight
around the globe, Mexicos battle of the bulge has become a test case in
the fight against obesity. The new taxes are: eight per cent on food high
in saturated fat, sugar and salt, like sweet breads and cakes. About nine
per cent on sugary drinks like cola.
