• Description:
  CDC’s High Obesity Program (HOP) promotes healthy eat-in and active living in counties that have more than 40% prevalence of adult obesity. CDC provides funds to univer-sities that work with communities —mostly in rural areas—whose residents may have less access to healthy foods and fewer opportunities to be physically active. The University of Tennessee Extension Service works with four county Extensions and their partners to: • Educate children in schools on the benefits of physical activity and healthy eating.• Increase access to healthier food options in local retail outlets, corner stores, and restaurants. • Create and enhance safe places for physical activity by working with state transportations officials.
