VOTE WITH YOUR FORK: Stuck Between Obesity and a Hard Place

Submitted by Y. Breyn on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 5:14pm

Local Matters believes that a well informed citizen can make a difference in Ohio legistlation and other levels of change in our respective localities. Because of this we have launched a "Vote With Your Fork" campaign in hopes to educate fellow Central Ohioans to know what is going on with their food sources and so that they understand what changes need to be made in their best interest.

With the current state of health in America and our obesity epidemic, Ohio has a difficult decision to make.

Studies show (Click here for Princeton study) that while caloric entake may be the same, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) definitely plays a part in obesity compared to sugar. So where does Ohio come in you ask?
