My thoughts and how I choose to live is that we have to start with our kids. Instill in them the value of activity/exercise, healthy eating to include sitting at the dinner table together. These values ,I think, have been lost. We have seen so many stories on how the introduction of fast food, video games, the effect of both partents working etc has had. That does not mean we have to fall into the habits that are laid out for us. We may not be able to change the world, I certainly don't try to, but I do try to instill the changes to my kids and hope they can pass it on and lead by example.

I think it will eventually come to head when insurance companies will start to be more strict when it comes to paying for preventable diseases. My thoughts only.
