Latina Obesity in the United States

I have a few questions, so I’ll just say all of them.

1) Is the best solution to fixing obesity among Latinos to educate them more or to change government policies?

People get fat because fatty foods are so cheap, like 1 dollar burgers at McDonald’s, and any rules that try to fix that will be inherently opposing free market principles. When Bloomberg tried to limit how much soda we could buy, he came under attack and was ridiculed, but anything else done to make people eat less would be the same idea and come under scrutiny.

2) What changes in policy can stop the trend in obesity, or curtail it? Or, should the government just stay out of it?

3) Does the obesity among Latinos change depending on where they live, and who they live around?
