That's all true, but I'm going to put this one on the government. Our governmental policies have the ability to influence how parents raise their kids and how they care for themselves.

To take an extreme case, imagine what would happen if all the obviously unhealthy foods were illegal. (Other than the black market for twinkies..lol), people would become MUCH healthier.

Not to sound like a socialist, but that's where I think we need to go, and that's where I think we WILL go eventually.
