MEXICO: Gov’t tackles child obesity
Mexico’s government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced a new plan to tackle childhood obesity. At the centre of the plan is a ban on the sale of junk food in schools, with heavy fines for educational centres that fail to comply. Schools have until the end of March 2025 to implement the new measures. While the plan has been welcomed by organisations such as the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef), critics have expressed scepticism regarding the enforceability of the rules and stressed the need for good eating habits to be developed at home.
