The fight against obesity is not the responsibility of any one person or group. It will take an entire reevaluation of what we consider appropriate or trendy in our nation. As Judith Warner stated in her article, Junking Junk Food, it took the entire nation to band together and regulate our food consumption during World War II. You say that only by tackling the problem on two fronts were we able to succeed. By educating people about nutrition and making healthy eating a public concern rather than targeted at individuals, we will be able to make a comeback against this epidemic. Educate yourselves and educate your families. Encourage your schools and communities to offer programs and materials on education, exercise and lifestyle. Learn about the risks associated with obesity and ways to prevent obesity from happening to your children. Teach by example. Show your children that playing outside, swimming, walking and playing sports are great alternatives to staying indoors all day and do all these things as a family. Involve others in yours
