Childhood Obesity, Part 1 HOLYOKE, MA (wfcr) - Childhood obesity has become a public health crisis in the US - and one of First Lady Michelle Obama's main causes. More than 30 percent of all children in the US -- about 11 million -- are considered clinically overweight or obese. In Holyoke, Massachusetts, which has many Puerto Rican and low-income residents, the problem is even worse than the national average. In the first of a series, WFCR's Karen Brown reports how one community health center is trying to reverse this trend. © Copyright 2013, wfcr
