They did and it's beautiful, they're also asking for donations to help with upkeep if you'd like to support (: www.latinohealthaccess.org/park-community-center/

At ~3:44 the lady incorrectly assumes that the health disparities between different groups is due to lack of resources. Obesity and its follow-on effects are due to an excess consumption of resources. If the diseases weren't accrued through a lifetime of bad eating habits, one wouldn't need things like medical intervention.

the only reason they're consuming junk food is because they can't afford and don't have access to healthy food

Obesity is due to a lack of accessibility to resources like healthy food, parks, health activities like exercise groups, and a safe environment as mentioned in the video. This "excess consumption of resources" you are talking about is directly due to the lack of other vital resources.

@@ameerafaizal6083 Nonsense. No one requires exercise groups or safe environments to eat responsibly and exercise. Thank god the majority of obese people are also less intelligent so that I don't have to live or work around the fat asses.
