County residents need more veggies
The Wisconsin Public Health and Health Policy Institute has released health report cards (PDF) for all of Wisconsin's counties.
Among the findings:
* Winnebago County ranks in the top quartile of Wisconsin counties for overall health but maybe shouldn't. We rank in the second quartile for determinants of good health.
* 8.6 percent of county residents are in fair to poor health.
* County residents have good access to health care but bad health behaviors and an exposure to a bad environment.
* We binge drink and smoke too much.
* Our children have a high exposure to lead.
