Cristiano Ronaldo
The Mexico President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, used Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo as a symbol and an example at his country's campaign to fight obesity.
AMLO, as the Head of State, is known by his initials, showed a video of Ronaldo's news conference at UEFA Euro 2020 where he removed a pair of Coca Cola bottles and promoted the consumption of water.
Lopez Obrador asked his fellow citizens to "not eat junk food, drinks with excess of sugar." According to latest data from the World Health Organisation, Mexico is only behind the United States in the obesity rankings.
