09/15/2005 | While more exercise and healthier foods would do a lot to reduce the Healthcare costs to this country,and to improve the lives of it's citizens-the Government could promote it with lackluster results if people are not willing to give up their Krispy cremes and do more pushups.It would depend on HOW it was promoted.Massive advertising could be a waste of money.Perhaps some sort of incentive program,such as reduced taxes for those who improve their overall health might work,but hammering it out wouldn't be easy.Also,if pollution is not reduced,no matter how Healthy people try to live,there will still be massive healthcare costs and troubles looming in the future.

10/18/2004 | I'd regulate the food industry more and make sure all the high sugars and hidden salts are cut from processed food. Make available wholesome, natural foods, less toxins, chemicals etc, which are contributing to weight increase despite those exrcise programmes. It's an individual's choice then if he gets fat or not whereas at the moment, the busy housewife is putting so much hidden junk in her shopping basket.

09/16/2004 | Duh? This is what a real leader should do? Hey I am ALL FOR EXERCISE!!! But I'm also ALL FOR FREEDOM! If you want to sit on your fat butt and eat Ring Dings and Big Macs smoking a carton of butts a day... knock yourself out!! With all these doom and gloomers you'd think Americans are dying in droves when we're actually living longer and longer. In reality the key is moderation. A real leader would promote moderation but would above all else let people know it was their life to live.

09/14/2004 | What in the name of Mighty Mouse do you think flood the airwaves, the bookstores, the Internet, and your mailbox now? Ever since Jane Fonda slipped on a pair of legwarmers and published her book way back when, this country has become more and more obsessed with health and self. I'm pretty sure that this was in the exact same proportion to the rise in obesity. And maybe that has something to do with constantly having an unattainable standard shoved in your face every 3 minutes of your waking life. After awhile you just say, oh, who the devil cares - pass the pasta. Maybe what we really need is to stop thinking so much about ourselves and start concentrating on helping other people out. You would have less time to stuff your face, would get more exercise, would (possibly) stop obsessing on yourself and maybe, just maybe start to realize there are more important things in life than physical appearance and many more valid ways to feel good about yourself.

09/10/2004 | So like a real leader (I guess Bill Clinton wasn't a real leader) could somehow transform a nation of gluttonous, pillagers into a country of yogurt eaters who get regular exercise. Sorry, in this country, each of us has a CHOICE. Make yours and tell the real leaders to shut up.
