Latino Childhood Obesity - Short Film

Today, 23 million children and teenagers are overweight or obese. That's more than 1 in every 3 young people. Latinos are younger, poorer and more overweight/obese than other population groups.

The video was produced by Salud America!, a program of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio (www.salud-america.org); edited by http://www.SprocketProductions.com; original Music by Alexander McCumba, San Antonio, Texas.
