Regarding Clifton Adcock’s News story “Chicken fight” about lesser prairie chickens in the Sept. 14 Oklahoma Gazette:
No matter what health statistic is considered, Oklahoma City generally does not fare very well. It has higher rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease than most of its peer cities. No doubt some of that can be attributed to personal decisions, but some of it is due to our built environment. We have built a city that, in most areas, makes travel by walking and cycling more difficult than driving a vehicle.
