With the fight against childhood obesity an ever-growing topic, some local businesses get together to hold the "Eat Well, Play Well Event" today at the Imaginarium of South Texas.
The new LMC Internal Medicine Doctor, Carlos Canova, was at the Imaginarium of South Texas for the, “Eat Well, Play Well Event.” He's hoping to talk to parents and children about the importance of staying healthy.
Along with being able to speak to doctors, there were different booths available to check everything from children's eyesight to diabetes. The main issue being talked about at the “Eat Well, Play Well,” event was nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices.
She adds that you need to start when they're younger. That's why they had a chef on hand making healthy snacks.
Directors say the response to the exhibit has been great with parents and their children getting engaged in the activities and learning together. Lauren Kendrick, Pro 8 News.
Several members of the community contributing to this afternoon’s event, including Laredo Medical Center and Your Good Neighbor Station.

There's very few programs for children to be constantly active in Laredo & this weekend I witnessed a basket ball tournament organizer mentally abusing the kids. During a basketball game a child made an unharmfull remark & Me Galindo was not fond of his comment & in front on multiple people he screamed & the student from across the gym. His daughter in a very agravated manner called the Childs mother "stupid" & made many other unnecessary vulgar comments. The parents were removed for standing up for their child. What is happening with these money hungry coordinators & are we suppose to allow them to speak to our children in that matter in order for then to have an opportunity to play & be children? Why is St Agustine High School allowing this on their premises??
