Obesity task force tackles post-storm nutrition

Posted: Updated:

    The Alabama Obesity Task Force plans to hold a discussion about nutrition and tornado victims who are eating at shelters and other storm-relief sites.

    The meeting is at 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 18, at the Alabama Power Water Course Building in Clanton.

    Recent rankings put Alabama in the top three states in obesity, diabetes and hypertension. It's estimated that a third of the people living in Alabama are obese, with two-thirds classified as overweight.
