Battle of the bulge for Mexican cops

Some stories speak for themselves:

Authorities in Mexico City are putting the police on a diet, in a health campaign in the world's second-most obese country, after the United States.

Some of the 1,300 police officers taking part in the new scheme, run by the capital's Public Security and Health ministries, were weighed, measured and examined in a public ceremony Thursday.

"We can't ask them to stop eating tortas (big Mexican sandwiches) and tacos," said Nora Frias, a local police official.

"We can tell them that if they eat a torta today, they have to balance it in the next meal with some vegetables."
