(PIC)Laurinburg Mayor Matt Block's recent <span style="color: #0000ff;">article</span> regarding Scotland County's school consolidation, remodeling and new school construction plans was good, but unfortunately, completely missed the mark.<span style="color: #0000ff;">
</span>

Mayor Block is not just a politician, but a doctor of cardiology too. Dr Block, like other medical professionals, is primarily trained to respond to problems once they have manifested (often severely), not primarily to preventing their occurrence in the first place.

If you are having heart problems, Dr. Block is a good man to have around, but unfortunately, regardless of how good he is repairing the damage, he can't prevent you from going out and doing the same things that got you into trouble.

The fact is, heart disease, cancer and diabetes are all highly correlated to poor lifestyle choices. Fatty foods, fried foods and sitting down in front of the TV watching sports and Hollywood entertainment while consuming junk food, sodas and beer are pretty much guaranteed to cause trouble. The choice between chronic disease and good health is pretty much up to You.
