Diabetes and obesity are huge problems in our community so I was saddened to see that all the food vendors that I noticed were hawking fat and cholesterol loaded foods like hot dogs. Hopefully future health fairs will take a more holistic approach to health that includes diet. I was glad to see that there was free HIV testing and fun carnival rides for kids.
