I have to say it again, welcome to Mexico.
I have been living here for the past 8.5 years and the food taste better, feels fresher and the variety of fruits is amazing. A lot of the food is local so that makes it a lot cheaper than in the USA but, I am totally with you guys, Mexican eats quite crazy for me. A lot of sugar drinks and ”chamoy” all over the fruits.
Chamoy is pure junk and sugar drinks also. Mexico has a huge obesity problem and here in Merida is the #1 place for kids that are obese. They eat a lot of junk. Sad but true. The Mexian candy is junk but their chocolate is amazing, especially the one from Chiapas.
There are very good options to eat healthy but that has to come from the person. Cosco has a bunch of organic stuff but is not cheap to buy organic here in Mexico. The Mexican eats a lot of pork and “Manteca”. Their bread is made with “Manteca”. That junk that it will kill you in 20 years.
Their favorite drink is Coca Cola, more junk.
Resume: Mexico has a lot of natural resources but unfortunately the people does not want to make the effort of eating healthier (they do not have the money) or drinking naturally from the amazing gamma of fruits that Mexico offers.
Theirs is a lot of poverty here in Mexico and I have seen that their dinner is only “sabritas” (chips), bread and Coca Cola. Believe or not, is really mess up. Do not get me wrong, Mexico is a great place, great people, but is not perfect like any other place. At least, for me, here in Mexico the quality of life is better and theirs is more freedom here in Mexico than in the US.
