HARC Study Shows Over Half Of Eastern Riverside County Overweight Or Obese

The Rip van Winkles of sick care.

Good morning!

"Healthcare professionals in eastern Riverside County concerned about the expanding waistlines of the population, received weighty evidence of the problem this week with the 2008 release of the Health Assessment Resource Center (HARC) Community Health Monitor.

An estimated 270,000 adults (56.2%) surveyed over the past are overweight or obese, based on their body mass index. The numbers are equally large for children between the ages of 2-17, with 47,441 kids suffering from the problem that has been linked to the onset of a number of illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease."

Sorry to have disturbed your sleep for this breaking story.

And these are the "professionals."

Get fit.

Stay away from the sick care clowns.
