• Description:
  CDC’s High Obesity Program (HOP) promotes healthy eating and active living in counties/parishes that have more than 40% prevalence of adult obesity. CDC provides funds to land grant universities that work with communities —mostly in rural areas—whose residents may have less access to healthy foods and fewer opportunities to be physically active. Louisiana State University Agricultural Center works with four parish Extension offices and their partners to:• Promote healthier food options at local retailers and hospitals. • Create and enhance safe places for physical activity with parish government leaders and faith-based groups.
