On The Beat with the Rockstar Nutritionist
Corpus Christi, TX was recently deemed the FATTEST CITY in the U.S., so fellow dietitian Jacqueline Replogle called The Rockstar Nutritionist to the rescue. Jacqueline’s organization, The Junior League of Corpus Christi, pulled together funding and services from H.E.B. Grocery Stores, Omni Hotels, United Healthcare, and Time Warner to make 23 Jump with Jill shows in the most at risk schools in Corpus Christi Independent School District possible. and today, dressed in green, yellow, and purple. For their work to address this heavy issue, accepted Mayor Joe Adame’s Proclamation on behalf of The Junior League. Our two week tour ended with a wonderfully free community event, complete with healthy snacks, inflatable rides, information on the farmer’s market, a Cartwheel bus, and a Jump with Jill performance. When we weren’t working, I got a sunburn in March and rode my bicycle around what I soon learned was “The real windy city”!
