<P class=style24 align=left><U>Randall Lewis Seminar Series - November 16,
2010</U></P>
<H2 class=style31 align=center>Battling Childhood Obesity in the Inland
Empire</H2>
<P class=style9 align=left>Nearly a third of Inland Southern California
public school children may be overweight, according to recent studies.</P>
<P class=style9 align=left>Public health researchers attribute the
increase to the prevalence of fast food and sugar-sweetened beverages, and
the lack of proper exercise because of increased computer use and fewer
nearby parks and recreational areas.</P>
<P class=style9 align=left>Inland area public health departments, other
city and county agencies and local school districts are developing
programs and policies to combat the problem and help improve the fitness
of area residents.</P>
<P class=style9 align=left>Last year, the Riverside County Joint Health
Coalition was formed to work collaboratively to identify and support
broader solutions to combat obesity, poor nutrition and physical
inactivity and to improve the overall health of Riverside County.</P>
<P class=style9 align=left>The coalition includes members representing
multiple sectors from public and private, local and regional organizations
throughout the County.</P>
<P class=style9 align=left>Four Coalition members will discuss the
childhood obesity problem and examine some of the broader solutions being
established at the<STRONG> Nov. 16 Randall Lewis Seminar Series.</STRONG>
Panel presenters will be:<IMG hspace=5 alt="Danyte Mockus" vspace=3
