Not healthy: 10-month-old baby weighs 28kg

TECOMÁN— Like any other 10-month-old, Luis Manuel Gonzales babbles and touches anything within reach. But he stands out in a stunning and perhaps life-threatening way—he weighs 28 kilograms. He might need medical treatment costing a fortune, but his father earns just a little over $200 a month. Mexico leads the world in childhood obesity and diabetes and Gonzales is an extreme example of this unwelcome distinction.
