SECRETARY THOMPSON CALLS ON HEALTH
LEADERS TO COMBAT OBESITY
During the month of July, Secretary
Thompson is calling on all health leaders to combat
the devastating health, economic and social consequences
of overweight and obesity
in America. Communities must use strategies that
help address overweight and obesity, like requiring
physical education at all school grades, providing more
health food options on school campuses, and providing
safe and accessible recreational facilities for residents
of all ages.
