Kansas health officer outlines priorities for 2012 with obesity taking top
Infant mortality, injuries and deaths from vehicle accidents and lack of immunizations are among issues the state’s top health official wants to address in 2012. But, his top priority is obesity.
Dr. Robert Moser, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the number of adolescents and adults who are overweight has steadily increased during the past 15 years. It’s concerning because of the number of health conditions related to weight gain: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, increased risk of diabetes and arthritis.
“The obesity epidemic in Kansas is a complex issue that’s going to have to be addressed from a number of different directions,” he said.
Los Portales Restaurante and Cantina sits on the east side of Topeka, across S.E. 6th Street from El Azteca Club and Nueva Vida Panaderia.
Inside the restaurant it is a slow Tuesday night, and Raul Munoz takes a minute in between carrying out margaritas and plates of sizzling fajitas to sit and talk.
Munoz, 35, came to the United States from Leon, Mexico, when he was 7 years old.
He and his parents, Jorge and Teresa, fully opened the restaurant last year after designing the interior and carefully carving roosters and horses into the wooden booths by hand. The recession made for a tough year, but business has been picking up lately, and Munoz is optimistic they may hire more staff in 2012.
