Wyoming Obesity Is On The Rise

There are mixed reviews about obesity in the Cowboy state. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that Wyoming's adult obesity rate ranks 34th in the nation, but its childhood obesity rate seems to be improving. Albert Lang who worked on The State of Obesity report tells Bob Beck that while there are clearly some improvements, it's a concern.

Bob Beck retired from Wyoming Public Media after serving as News Director of Wyoming Public Radio for 34 years. During his time as News Director WPR has won over 100 national, regional and state news awards.
