How can we decrease the rising obesity in us?

Complicated but..: Eat less processed food, be much more active daily, get money out of politics (agriculture & healthcare lobby), take more personal responsibility for health, have the system reward wellness, stop over-reliance on medications, and the list goes on.

Education.: We have to target the young, I feel. Teach young kids the value of proper nutrition and regular exercise. Limit time with video games, computers and texting. At home, emphasize healthy food choices at the family table where everyone eats together. Desserts are special, not daily. Teach the kids,,and their parents and grandparents will follow.
