link-asterisk.jpgThe food and diet issues that predominate in Williamsburg and Bushwick, of course, are not hipster ones. “Kids growing up in Williamsburg and neighboring Bushwick have the highest chance in the city that one of their parents is obese. About 30% of adults are unhealthily overweight, according to data released yesterday by the Citizens’ Committee on Children. Williamsburg and Bushwick also have some of the highest rates of adult diabetes in the city and eat the least fruits and vegetables, with roughly one adult in four reporting having eaten no fruit or vegetables in the past day. “–NYDN
