Obesity summit looking for ways to “downsize” the population (Audio)
South Carolina’s only statewide organization dedicated to obesity prevention will have a summit in Columbia Wednesday, drawing hundreds of professionals from a variety of organizations.
Amy Splittgerber is Executive Director of the organization Eat Smart, Move More SC. She says the state having the nation’s fifth worst level of obesity causes other problems, such as diabetes.
Splittgerber says part of the problem is the result of personal choice. But she says sometimes it’s hard for some people to find the best diet.
