You’re on the frontlines of the obesity fght. This is your chance to make sure that your experience is reflected at the state level. Take 5 minutes to share your feedback on Wisconsin’s obesity plan.
Let's make sure Transform WI’s efforts -- strengthening policy and systems to promote healthy food and safe places to play -- are included in the plan! The state of Wisconsin just released a draft of their new blueprint “Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Plan 2012-2020” for public comment. You’re likely too busy to read all 124-pages, but here are some highlights:
- Any obesity plan needs funding to be implemented, yet Wisconsin currently spends $0 on its obesity prevention program.
- This comprehensive plan is based on best practices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Sample comments about the plan are available here for your use.
Click here to share your feedback now. Your comments are due by this Wednesday, July 18th. There is no need to prepare a manuscript; any comments supporting proven strategies in obesity prevention will make a difference.
Thanks for weighing in on how Wisconsin will tackle obesity in the coming years! We’re proud you’re standing up to be part of the solution and excited to see your perspective incorporated into the path ahead.
Sincerely,
Transform WI Staff
Thank you for putting this together - for those of you who haven't commented yet - it is helpful to have the table of contents from the 124pg doc as they ask in the comment section for the page number (for example I put goal 2 - advocacy pg 36-41 ...)
