Dr. James Lace, a committee member in I Love Me, is a pediatrician with the Childhood Health Associates of Salem. During his 34-year career in Salem, he has seen the number of overweight and obese children increase, he said.
Sixty percent of children in Marion County are overweight and 30 percent are obese, Lace said.
