The 4-foot-5 fifth grader weighs in at 124 pounds. His body mass index of
31 classifies him as obese.
.
We first met him and his mom at White Memorial Medical Center after he was
hospitalized with an alarming condition for his age: high blood pressure.
.
His mother, Carolina, expressed shock, fear and, most of all, guilt.
Listening to his mom made Israel realize how serious the situation is.

In the Boyle Heights area of East Los Angeles, fast food restaurants
vastly outnumber grocery stores. For many, apartment living offers limited
places for kids to play in, and out on the streets, safety is a concern.
People who battle the child obesity problem first-hand in the neighborhood
say culture is also another obstacle.
.
"The culture here is Mexican, Mexican-American and we have a lot of
traditions with foods that have a lot of high fat or a lot of sugar, so
it's just hard to implement the changes that you learn at home," said
Estrada.
