people in mexico are fat because of macdonals and kfc, before those, most of the people where really thin..

[RockyBalboa211]

Well I would find that most people assume that mexican food is what they find at taco bell or other fast food tex mex places. Yet, actual mexican food, found in mexico is entirely different. I mean most of its fish based or made with alot of healthly herbs. Also the way people eat in mexico is different as well.. usually its a real big breakfast, with a light lunch, and light dinner. Usually thats why the food is so healthy for later hours.

@ttiiyy Also, Mexicans are Native Americans you dumbass. As in Native to the Americas. Many are pure blood, most are mixed but ALL are a majority indigenous blood population. Grow a brain you wet piece of American fat shit.

@ttiiyy Haha ur pretty dense. First of all Mexicans arent Hispanics.Spaniards R, and if you know anything that doesnt have to do with your rotting anus, then you would know that. Secondly, its obvious from your previous posts, that you're a hater. You are right, however about Mexicans not really embracing the reality of being Mexican. I agree with that. But not all mexicans live a euro lifestyle and not all admire the spanish. So fatso, lose some weight and pull your head out of your greasy ass.

@carsiotto I believe in what I see. Hispanics are FAT. That's all.

Besides, there's a big difference between the words Mexican and Native American. Many Mexicans are proud of the euro/Spanish influence. Their ancestors were treated like pigs and forced to learn Spanish. And today these pathetic people are proud of speaking Spanish. They have no self-respect. Their ancestors were TORTURED by Spanish for God's sakes.

Native Americans in the US are not like that.

@ttiiyy After euros invaded, they brought pigs cows and other fattening product. Before that, Mexicans ate a mostly vegetarian diet, including tlaxcalli (tortilla). Now the modern Mexican still has these healthy foods but also with a euro twist, with the addition of fats and meats. Its not until you analyze Mexican-American food, that things get crazy and really fatty. Secondly burritos hardly make up the core of Mexican cuisine, so its unfair to just point that out like you have. Research.

[carsiotto]

@ttiiyy Well lets analyze what you're saying. ALL cuisines have good and bad foods. I agree that fried beans would be on the bad side. Im not saying that Mexicans never eat bad food. What I am saying however is that the traditional Mexican cuisine is very healthy. It focuses on fresh and rich foods. What makes Mexican traditional? Well, there is pre-chautemoc and post-chautemoc food. After and before the euro invasion.

[ttiiyy]

@carsiotto Well, I guess at least you are fair.

However, I do not agree that Mexicans always eat healthy. I have noticed that many Mexicans eat fried beans. Now that is also eaten in Mexico. Don't tell me that that is healthy food. Also, Mexicans eat fried burritos IN MEXICO with beer as well! I know that! I have seen that on Travel Channel.

I know the American food is very fattening. I get it. It's not as if Mexicans always ate healthy, for God's sakes.
