Everything is looking for Mexico with the Crusader campaign in schools 04/1025/04

The world’s eyes are placed on Mexico by the new federal government strategy to ban food for food scrapIncluding soft drinks, in public and private schools in the country. Countries like the United Kingdom, France and the United States have turned into the vision of Mexico, which after 15 years of attempts without success in directing food scrap From schools, this week succeeded.

From this Monday, most school cooperatives no longer sell Babita, cookies, sweets, or soft drinks. Good for this achievement that has struggled with the food and sugary drinking industry sharply.

The numbers provided by the Ministry of Health themselves are concerned: the weight gain epidemic and obesity still grow between children and adolescents. Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Ramiro Lopez ElizaldHe participated in the N4G nutrition summit in Paris, France, and there, before the representatives of the different countries and the general manager of the World Health Organization, the official said that Mexico learned that it is not enough to recognize obesity in childhood, diabetes and chronic diseases. “It is required to act with responsibility, courage, and above all, with public morals,” he said.

This strategy brought congratulations from from to the president Claudia ShinbomWhich led to his full support for the Health and Education Secretariat to implement these measures. He is right Simon BarkeraDirector of the Nutrition and Health Research Center at the National Institute of Public Health, if childhood is not protected, then we do not have a future as a country.

From this week, you start seeing a policy aimed at avoiding food that harms students, but as I said in the previous column, time will be asked to change a full generation of children and youth to eat more healthy. For nutritionists and economists, it is not strange to note that the cost of following a healthy diet is still increasing in the country.

In many countries that have today turned into the vision of Mexico, in their schools, they offer school breakfast and thus helped stop obesity. I believe that this is required in Mexican educational schools, school breakfast meals and the expansion of school hours so that children have hours of more physical education; Programs that have been disposed of in the past six period.

Part of the success of this strategy falls to parents, and to be honest, many also have obesity and weight gain.

If this measure is not careful, this may only change these products; This is now the students who promoted Saronin their trade in schools. What about the informal stores you sell outside schools, they will continue their work.

Health and educational authorities still have a great extension to resolve them to stop the obesity epidemic and weight gain for students. Currently, they have already taken his first step. Congrats!

Under the microscope

Mexico reaches the celebration of World Health Day 2025 on April 7 with many challenges, including the provision of medicines and supplies and the establishment of all health employees.

The graph presented by yesterday by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Eduardo Clark It reveals that both IMSS and ISSTE are preparing their supply rates, but IMSS-BIENESTAR, which serves the largest part of the population of limited resources, still records the 35 percent percentage. What does this mean? Millions of patients come to consult, but they must pay their drugs and even their studies in the private sector because there are no public hospitals.
