Saying most Latinos send money back home and do not have the means to buy healthy food should not be a factor at all. Its about portion control and exercise, a person can easily walk instead of taking the bus, the stairs instead of the elevator. I agree that this is definitely a cultural issue but lets not base it on economic factors.
