Mexico has a big, big problem. It specifically involves the long, flabby arm of Mexican law enforcement. Apparently, according to a recent study, some 75 percent of their police force is overweight which, as you can imagine, makes it pretty easy for criminals. They just have to run far, or run past a bakery, and then they’re in the clear. To try and combat this, the Mexican police have cut the three-meal-a-day menu for the force to 2,495 calories, down from 3,000. That’s still a little too high considering how little physical activity most cops do.
If you’re too fat to be on a dating website, you’re too fat to be a cop. If you need two seats on an airplane, you’re too fat to be a cop. If you’re not in shape, then you shouldn’t be allowed to be a police officer or you should be permanently assigned to desk duty. I don’t want fat people on welfare, I just want to make sure my cops aren’t falling over from heart attacks on the job. You’re arresting crooks, not sumo-wrestling with them.
