North Carolina is too big. More than half of the adults in our state are overweight or obese and we rank fifth in the country for overweight adolescents. Host Frank Stasio broadcasts live from the public library in Raleigh’s Cameron Village to talk about tackling the obesity challenge with Sarah Armstrong, a pediatrician and director of the Healthy Lifestyles program at Duke University; Eric Finkelstein, Senior Health Economist at RTI International; Mark Dessauer of Active Living by Design; and Parry Graham, assistant principal of Cedar Fork Elementary School in Morrisville.
