Spot on ...... obesity is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) health problems in American society.

All of the health-care in the world isn't going to mean much if people don't exercise regularly and/or eat an at least somewhat healthy diet.

Even though I am not in the shape I was in when I was a two sport athlete in school, I don't smoke, don't drink and rarely eat trash that is not good for me. I am a little heavier, but don't need a scooter at the store and am fairly active. Diabetes is a serious disease that can be prevented in most by choosing a different lifestyle at the dinner table. It is hard and takes great discipline in todays grab it and go society. Bad choices have bad consequences.
