Hi Ann, Thanks so much for your comments and understand I truly am on your side when it comes to spreading the word about a healthy lifestyle. I appreciate your passion for New Orleans and can tell you it is one of my parent's favorite places to visit. I can relate to your reaction, when my hometonw and beloved "City of Brotherly Love," Philadelphia, was called one of the "fattest cities in America." I thought to myself.."no way I see tons of people on the Drives each weekend roller blading, biking and running. Eveyone I know exercises and does their best to eat healthy. My intention was to congratulate and celebrate such a wonderfully deserving city of New Orleans and I am sorry my inflection and tone did not come across in my words. I do however think, that we still need to raise awareness nationally, no matter what the city, about the plight of those who are at a economic disadvantage or who face adversity and how that correlates to their health and lifestyle. I applaud your efforts, progress and most of all your passion for sharing, educating and empowering those in New Orleans to live a healthy lifestyle.
