Fat Tuesday in Corpus Christi

For FAT TUESDAY, I wore my Mardi Gras beads to take on childhood obesity. Corpus Christi, TX is considered the FATTEST CITY in the U.S., so fellow dietitian Jacqueline Replogle called The Rockstar Nutritionist to the rescue. We are performing 23 Jump with Jill shows in the most at risk schools in Corpus Christi Independent School District and today, dressed in green, yellow, and purple, we were on the radio with Eric Von Wade on KSIX to discuss the sources of these trends and tips for families. Between today’s performances, I accepted Mayor Joe Adame’s Proclamation on behalf of Jacqueline’s organization, the Junior League of Corpus Christi. It’s a great day to call attention to a big problem!
