Here’s a Property I Won’t be Allowed in. For Sure.

Latino Kids are so Acculturated, they are Now Obese
Well, it was just a matter of time. As America becomes more and more Latino, Latinos are becoming more and more… overweight.
An article in The Daily News the subject -bearing the seemingly playful headline of ‘Saying adiós to chips and sodas,” shows that our kids (well, yours actually, I don’t have any) are becoming obese.
[…] The numbers for Hispanics are troubling. Hispanic Americans are 1.2 times more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic whites. And in 2009 to 2010, Mexican American children were nearly twice as likely to be overweight as non-Hispanic white youth.
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Oh, and you can thank these guys for their tireless efforts to lure Hispanics with their proud heritage pitches.

You can say anything you want about Enrique Peña Nieto, but the guy is not only bien guapote, but he managed to get himself a telenovela babe to arrive with a real splash. Meet Angélica Rivera (aka La Gaviota) and from now on Mexico’s First Lady. Enjoy while you can. I’m sure this image will not last long in the cyberspace.
