Surgeon General Lauds Fight Against Obesity

In the continued struggle against childhood obesity, an Alabama group has received the praises of acting U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Steven K. Galson for its efforts.
"Galson told members of the Jefferson County Childhood Obesity Task Force on Monday they are making a difference and must get involved 'at every level of society,'"
Galson was in Alabama for a round-table discussion with about 40 members of various organizations that are working to improve the diet, exercise, and overall health of Alabama children. Source: Montgomery Advertiser
