ALAMOSA -- Look carefully at the people of the San Luis Valley, at the many old faces, the many obese frames, the mostly healthy children.

In this poorest region of Colorado, many people die young of car accidents and other injuries, testament to the high rate of alcoholism and the distance most people are from a hospital or ambulance.

The rate of diabetes is much higher here than the rest of the state, due in part to obesity and lack of exercise in a region where people drive or sit more often than they run or bicycle.
