KSTX Town Hall on Obesity and Diabetes

Tonight at The Pearl Studio, I'm listening to the KSTX Town Hall on Obesity and Diabetes. @lepsafood for Twitter feed, using #kstx tag.

Panelists are from Metro Health, UTHSC, and NEISD. Wide-ranging discussion with good questions from the audience.

The San Antonio Food Policy Council was formed to address this issue first of all, and several of us are here to learn about concerns in the community.

The program is being recorded live for future broadcast on Texas Public Radio, 89.1 KSTX.
