ReplyDeleteShanette,
ReplyDeleteWe share the same topic, so I wanted to see what facts and figures you found. I too used information from the same website and other references as well. I find it odd how on the website by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have data on the maps for Wyoming, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Maine and Alaska. I also like using this fact sheet located on the same webpage as a link. The web address is: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/downloads/PedNSSFactSheet.pdf. Unfortunately, I cannot post it as a hyperlink, but I found the statistics shocking and motivating to want make an impact and change fast.
