Reply #200: Well first we need to start talking about this at the POLICY level

[nadinbrzezinski]

we want single payer, well we need to address our national cheap food policy, and there are many reasons, including the fact that you cannot keep planting the same crop year in and year out and not set yourself for disaster, see Midwest.

Some food aditives are not good for us, they must be removed from food chain, human, animal does not matter.

Yes that will hurt some agro business, both of these will

We also must start treating obesity like the health care crisis it is, which means no more preaching at the doctor and more proactive work, here is a piece of trivia, most insurance companies do NOT cover a visit to the Registered Dietitian and many patients require care that includes a dietitian, see a diabetic for example.

And chiefly we must become aware that in a problem of this scope we need to stop blaming the individual and start asking what is going on and addressing what is going on? We will always have some folks who are going to be overweight, no doubt in my mind. But to the levels we have it right now, we need to find out why and act on it.

Those are just from the top of my head.
