Actually, less McDonalds, more exercise. Studies in our city clinics following women and children from the time they arrive in the States, and for several years, shows a sharp increase in obesity within months. It is believed to be caused by the change in diet, easier, faster, aka fast food diet.

Simple solution: Less tacos, more exercise.
