| Summary / Abstract (Note) | WITH THIS SUMMER'S news from the United Nations that Mexico has surpassed the United States in adult obesity levels--one-third of Mexican adults are now considered extremely overweight--U.S. foreign policy has come into sharper, or perhaps softer, focus. Despite first lady Michelle Obama's continued emphasis on good diet and exercise, the United States seems secretly intent on fattening everyone else on the planet. Apparently, America has adopted the old piece of ursine humor as grand strategy: "You don't have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you." |
