Personal Life
Manuel currently resides in San Nicolas de los Garza, Nuevo Leon. He claims that when he was growing up he was slightly obese but not to a significant extent. It wasn't until his 20s that his obesity increased to a serious extent. In 1987 he got married and moved to the United States for employment opportunities. Manuel started selling tacos on the corner street to support his family. Instead of selling the tacos that his wife made, Manuel ate them. Manuel and his wife settled in Dallas, where he was employed fixing typewriters. The nature of this profession required Manuel to spend his day sitting at a desk. He said, "Life in the U.S. is like that. You just go from your desk to your car. I used to drive my car to and from work, so I didn't get any exercise".
