PBS News Weekend

Season 1, Episode 48 of 99

In just 30 years, Mexico has become one of the fattest countries in the world. With obesity levels rivaling the US, Mexico has launched a rigorous public health campaign - and has begun experimenting with taxes on sugary drinks and high-calorie snack foods. This Sunday, correspondent Martin Fletcher investigates how well that strategy is working - and what lessons US policymakers may learn from their Mexican counterparts. That, and the weekend's news, online and on-air.
