Bad Foods are products that are engineered to taste very good , and they generally are filled with high salt,sugar or calories. This places their health at risk and as a community member I doubt that you would watch a child of 4 get near a cliff . If you witnessed a child taking extreme risks , you would take action.

This action for social change is within your grasp . Below is a link to the Fort Frances Times . The small newspaper in Northern Ontario decided to write about this effort. People from all over the world are linking to this new model , and at the same time are tuning into the old policy. The old policy skillfully places all accountability onto the individual.To support this theory I found out that 90 % of people follow the model . Do you really believe that Personal accountability ,lack of willpower , unhealthy eating ,lifestyle ,laziness are the only reasons for this extreme health crisis?

Perhaps I was more accountable in 1980 .I agree acountability is important ,but this accountability needs to be SHARED . How effective is it to place all funding and energies into the Activity Cycle. What gets missed? Shared Accountability allows for factors to float to the surface . A safe community ,where we have recreational resources that encourages activity daily. Income levels that can provide healthy food for a healthy community.Healthy foods have increased by 76.5 % since 1989.

The governments need to step forward and realize this issue is far too complex for a single person to address. Systems need to become accountable and take this obsesity crisis on.The information is readily available and it is time to act. AGAINST OBESITY ------NOT AGAINST OBESE PEOPLE.

Lets find ways to protect our children with regard to their health .

Obesity discussions.

Lets promote a discussion about obesity.
Ninety per cent of people feel and believe that obesity is all about personal accountability . This supports the Fault Based Model and unhealthy eating,lack of willpower ,personal choice ,laziness and LIFESTYLE.
Can you name a diet that has failed ???????
No !
People fail !
This seems rather unfare and I am working toward finding SHARED ACCOUNTABILITY . With Shared Accountability suddenly other factors float to the surface . Poverty ,safe communities ,McLawsuits ,Race,EducationLevel,Income Level , Weight Bias and Stigma, Paid For Science and for me mood altering with foods . I have an unhealthy food marriage and I strive toward BALANCE .
I welcome you , and your feedback on this issue . What steps are we taking so as to build a plan ??? IS FOOD OUR NEXT TOBBACCO ????? For more on this stop by my youtube site . www.youtube.com/smurfp4444
