"20.9 percent of Hispanic children were considered obese." Not shocking noting most of the "Hispanic" kids in Colorado are Mexican, and while Mexican food is freaking delicious, it is extremely fattening food. I'm guessing the 14.7% of African American kids has to do with socioeconomic disadvantages, which leads to buying cheaper food and cheap food is usually full of sugar and other processed junk. The majority of the 4.7% of obese white kids is probably attributed to fat parents and their poor eating habits.
