“No matter what tax bracket you are in, whether you live in a food desert or you live in a gated community, everyone now has a healthier option to choose from, and I think that’s amazing,” James Tate, a nutrition therapist and author said.
Before Tate wrote about preventing childhood obesity, he lived it.
“I was that overweight child, overweight teenager and overweight adult,” he said. “I was 275 lbs in high school. I was over 300 lbs in college.”
Tate weighed 415 lbs when he changed his life, and he supports a new law in Prince George s County aimed at helping others do the same.
