The South Bronx is our day time neighborhood. We come here every single day, rain or shine, to work in our office/warehouse. We see the people who live in this area every day and there is no doubt that obesity is a major problem. Surprisingly, I just read in the NYTimes, also hunger is a major problem in the South Bronx. It is called the Bronx Obesity-Hunger Paradox. They say that hunger and obesity are often flip sides to the same malnutrition coin. Sad but true!!! You can’t find a decent place to eat or to shop for food around here. Nobody cooks at home. We are thinking of doing something!!!
The Obesity-Hunger Paradox. In The South Bronx the Highest Rate.
Obesity is indeed a very serious issue! Every individual should find ways and alternatives on how to maintain a well balance diet and healthy lifestyle.
