Governor Snyder talks to Craig about the status of health and wellness in Michigan. Currently 67 percent of Michigan adults are overweight or obese and Michigan is eighth in the nation with an adult obesity rate of 31.7 percent. Is it the state's job to convince people to lose weight? Can a PR campaign for dieting work? The Governor says he'll cut back on calories to lead by example.
