Obesity/overweight Rates Have Doubled In South Carolina Since 1990 -
June Proclaimed Obesity Awareness Month

Article Date: 14 Jun 2009 - 0:00 PDT

South Carolinians are encouraged to join in obesity prevention efforts
where they live, work, and play, and to make healthier decisions in
their day-to-day lives during Obesity Awareness Month, the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.

"In South Carolina, where Gov. Mark Sanford has officially proclaimed
June as Obesity Awareness Month, obesity rates have more than doubled
since 1990," said Erika Kirby, director of DHEC's Division of Obesity
Prevention and Control. "Sixty-five percent of South Carolina adults
are obese or overweight, and more than 31 percent of high school
students in the state are overweight or obese."

Kirby said in some South Carolina communities, rates of overweight and
obesity are now more than 40 percent among children and adolescents.

South Carolina now falls slightly behind the national average of 14.5
percent of adults lacking basic literacy skills.

Maybe the federal gov't should stop giving free welfare checks to big
agricultural businesses. Local produce is typically healthier for you
than Pringles trucked in from some other state...

If the fed gov't _stopped_ subsidizing big agricultural companies,
people would eat more locally grown produce, which is healthier for
them.

 spending or an estimated $147 billion a year, researchers said Monday.

 "About 65 percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight to some degree, and
 roughly 9 percent of national health-care expenditures -- about $123 billion
 a year -- is due to obesity," Obourn said. "And the indirect cost to
 business is significantly higher."

Obesity/overweight Rates Have Doubled In South Carolina Since 1990 -
June Proclaimed Obesity Awareness Month

Article Date: 14 Jun 2009 - 0:00 PDT

South Carolinians are encouraged to join in obesity prevention efforts
where they live, work, and play, and to make healthier decisions in
their day-to-day lives during Obesity Awareness Month, the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.

"In South Carolina, where Gov. Mark Sanford has officially proclaimed
June as Obesity Awareness Month, obesity rates have more than doubled
since 1990," said Erika Kirby, director of DHEC's Division of Obesity
Prevention and Control. "Sixty-five percent of South Carolina adults
are obese or overweight, and more than 31 percent of high school
students in the state are overweight or obese."

Kirby said in some South Carolina communities, rates of overweight and
obesity are now more than 40 percent among children and adolescents.
