Blame the liberal portion sizes, coming in from Mexico.
Are you sure about that? Because the Mexicans are not as obese as the other ethnic groups.

Those are old numbers. I work in an area in Southeast Los Angeles - the population here is more or less 95% Hispanic. I would say 50-55% are obese, with about 20% being morbidly obese. I refer a number of these patients out for bariatric surgery (they failed pils). I have 2 patients who are over 600 pounds
