As we watch the last float, we are reminded that the end of Carnival has arrived. Unfortunately, Mardi Gras may also remind us that Tuesday is not the only thing that is overweight in our state.
Study after study ranks Louisiana at or near the bottom of obesity rates and leading indicators. The Trust for America’s Health states that Louisiana is the fifth most obese state and the obesity rate has increased more than 80 percent over the last 15 years. The Center for Disease Control ranks Louisiana No. 5 in their new “inactivity index,” as roughly 30 percent of Louisianans reported they did not spend any free time being physically active.
As frightening as these statistics might be, the most alarming story is that our children are eating more and exercising less than ever before. Childhood obesity rates have tripled and nearly one in four children are overweight. This disease will expose entire generations of children to increased risks for high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
Obesity can be cured and prevented. We must ensure that our children have access to healthy foods and are getting time for exercise at home, at school and in the community. And, we must commit to eat smarter and exercise more because a role model for healthy eating and physical activity can positively influence our children’s health.
So please remember as another Mardi Gras fades, that the changes we make on Wednesday will ensure many more Tuesdays to come.

There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps
it down in one swig.
“Well, whatcha’ gonna do about it?” he says, menacingly, as I burst
into tears.
“Come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can`t stand
to see a man crying.”
“This is the worst day of my life,” I say. “I’m a complete failure.
Nothing seems to be going right.
“I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me.
“When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I
don’t have any insurance.
” I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another
man and then my dog bit me.”
“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all.
“I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison
dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!
“But enough about me, how’s your day going?”
