Since Mayor Cornett visited Ellen in January to talk about putting Oklahoma City on a diet, the residents of OKC have continued to lose weight at an impressive pace. As of June 10, the 18,500 people who signed up at www.thiscityisgoingonadiet.com lost over 85,000 pounds! And thanks to the national publicity, other cities around the country are working with Mayor Cornett to launch similar initiatives.
Taco Bell then launched a local promotion in Oklahoma City linked with its national Fresco menu of healthier choices. Recognizing that citizens of Oklahoma City were not going to quit fast food cold turkey, Mayor Cornett is encouraging them to make healthier choices. In every Taco Bell in Oklahoma City, a life-sized Mayor Cornett cutout encourages customers to order from the Fresco menu, and invites them to sign up at a web site to help OKC lose one million pounds.
Plus, locally-owned restaurants are getting on board, with OKC's entire Bricktown entertainment district offering the "Mayor's Special," (www.bricktownokc.org) and upscale restaurant Rococo offering a full “Mayor's Healthy Menu.” (www.rococo-restaurant.com) Mayor Cornett will be talking about these successes at the Annual Meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami on June 22.
