    Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63per cent of South Los Angeles reported being overweight or obese
    Three years on, the number rose to 75per cent
    In other parts of the country obesity rates only increased by one per cent
    Health experts say a single intervention will not reverse obesity issues
