Mexican homes range from modest village houses to luxurious resort properties. The population is made up of people with European, Native American, or mixed heritage. Villages are organized around cultural markets where locals sell handmade textiles, clothing, and other goods. Soccer is the most popular sport, though bullfighting also occurs. While regional foods incorporate corn, beans, squash, and chilies, obesity has increased significantly since the 1980s due to fast food consumption and soda intake outpacing the US.
