From their press release:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-reactid=\"5\" data-type=\"text\">The profile found that Latinos are more likely than the state&#8217;s average resident to live in low-income households, experience inadequate access to food and have fewer healthy food retailers in their neighborhoods. These factors make it more likely that a person will develop a chronic health condition. Latinos in California are overweight or obese at higher rates and are twice as likely to develop diabetes than White residents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-reactid=\"6\" data-type=\"text\">&#8220;The disparities seen among household incomes and the availability of healthy food retailers in California play a role in the higher rates of hunger, overweight and obesity among Latinos. This takes a toll on Latino health, as it is difficult to stay healthy when you do not have enough to eat and have limited access to supermarkets and produce stands that offer a variety of healthy foods,&#8221; said David Thomsen, MPP, NCLR Health Policy Analyst and author of the profile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-reactid=\"7\" data-type=\"text\">Findings from &#8220;The State of Latino Nutrition in California: How Latino Children and Families Are Faring in the Golden State&#8221; include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul data-reactid=\"8\" data-type=\"list\">\r\n\t<li data-reactid=\"9\">More Latino households struggle with not having enough food (43.7 percent), compared with White households (35.7 percent), and the average state household (40.4 percent).<\/li>\r\n\t<li data-reactid=\"10\">The number of Latino children who live in low-income households (62 percent) is more than double that of White children (24 percent).<\/li>\r\n\t<li data-reactid=\"11\">Latinos in the state are overweight and obese at higher rates than national and state averages. Among children ages 10-17, 40 percent of Latinos are overweight or obese, compared to 30.5 percent of all children.<\/li>\r\n\t<li data-reactid=\"12\">On average, Latinos in California live in communities where healthy food retailers represent only 11.9 percent of all food vendors, below the 12.9 percent average in predominantly White communities.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/publications.nclr.org\/bitstream\/handle\/123456789\/1635\/nutritionprofiles_california_101916.pdf?sequence=4&amp;isAllowed=y\">Download the profile here.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, the National Council of La Raza&nbsp;published a&nbsp;profile of the nutrition landscape Latinos in California face.
