Cars, exercise
To the editor:
On page 4A of the Aug. 28 Journal-World was an article by Ira Dreyfuss dealing with our needs for more grains and exercise. It also reminded us that 60 percent of our population is overweight or obese. In the same section of the paper, there were three full-page ads from car dealers. In the business section, the same day, appeared a full-page promoting more cars.
It was ironic to read the article about lack of exercise contributing to our health problems while we saw four large full-page ads promoting cars. The first step to solve this problem is convince our politicians to discourage more big box retail stores near our city limits.
