After interviewing Dr. Moe Bell yesterday about his book, Wellness Prescriptions, Simple Steps to A Longer Healthier Life,  I was reminded that we are in the midst of a looming health crisis.  And that very health crisis is 99% preventable and controllable. If you're like me you probably thought that this was an announcement of a vaccine breakthrough that would end another childhood illness.  Guess what?  I was wrong.  Dr. Bell pointed out that the preventable health crisis is obesity.  During his twenty year medical practice he has seen firsthand a large increase in the number of people who have a BMI of 30 or higher.  What troubles him is that the number of youngsters who are obese is close to one out of every three kids.  LINKS is commited to a safe, healthy and productive community and we cannot overlook this issue.  In the coming weeks we will post the interview with Dr. Bell and if you dare, his compelling powerpoint presentation on this issue.
