So many problems could be greatly reduced if a greater push were made towards preventing things like obesity and smoking. Our youth is having more health issues in regard to obesity than ever before, this is something that needs to be addressed at a very early age.
I think we're starting to see some progress as more and more schools are offering healthier lunch programs and pushing out the soft drink machines and junk food, but I think a lot more can and needs to be done in this area.

This is a cultural thing that will take some time to get ingrained into our society but once prevention becomes part of our culture we should see some benefits.
