Childhood Obesity Push Across Orange County
Shelley Hoss notes grim obesity data for California youths and Orange County, linking poverty to high rates. The California Department for Public Health Advocacy reports 38 percent of mid to high schoolers overweight or obese, with 75 percent of overweight teens likely to become obese adults and 80 percent of type 2 diabetes cases tied to excess weight. Obesity costs California about 21 billion dollars annually in health and lost productivity. Local city rates show Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Laguna Niguel with the lowest rates, while Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Stanton have the highest and correlate with poverty. Dr Patricia Riba leads campaigns offering direct care and education to nearly 3,000 families yearly in underserved Orange County areas.

Hoffa search is grandstanding to divert real issues
