Here are some statistics that will make you sit up and take notice: 35.9% of African American children ages 2-19 are overweight or obese, compared to 31.7% of all children those ages. 11.4% of African American children ages 2 to 5 are obese. 29.2% of African American girls, ages 12-19 are obese, compared to less than one in five Mexican American or White adolescent girls who are obese.
