Monday on Lake Effect: Miwaukee Obesity, 1st Congressional District, Northern Great Lakes Center

Monday on Lake Effect:

Milwaukee’s obesity rate is rising sharply - much faster than other parts of the state, or the country. A new report examines the causes and effects. Later, no Democrat has captured Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District seat in more than 20 years. But there are two hopefuls running to try this fall. And we’ll learn about a unique facility – how the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center does more than welcome visitors.

Guests:

  • Chris Spahr, lead author, “An Apple A Day”
  • Ryan Solen, Democrat running for Wisconsin’s 1st District Congressional seat
  • Tom Breu, Democrat running for Wisconsin’s 1st District Congressional seat
  • Northern Great Lakes Visitors Center employees; Susan Bence, WUWM environmental reporter
