mayor started a new program called fun fit and free to help philadelphians have fun become fit and be free from fat. the program encourages people to eat healthy food, exercise every day, and drink plenty of water. philadelphians can go to the fun, fit, and free web site to join. about 30,000 people are in the program. when they lose weight, they write stories online to tell about this. this encourages other people to lose weight. there is information on the web site about how to eat healthy food, too.
many bussinesses in philadelphia are also helping. some restaurants now offer choices of healthy food. health clubs are open in the afternoon, so people can exercise at lunchtime. some philadelphia hospitals have free classes to teach people about good health. fun fit and free is very successfull so far. the people of philadelphia lost a total of six tons in two years. philadelphia is no longer the fattest city in the U.S., and John street is very happy.
