We keep talking about prevention, yet deny the first line of it when we exclude PE.

Years ago when as kids we left the house right after breakfast, came home for lunch, and returned to playing outside until dark, we didn't need PE but we had it.

Kids will make good decisions when they have the info to make them with. Far better than expecting them to take the advice of parents when their rebellious nature is to do the opposite of what parents say anyway.

Obesity driven disease is a close second.

Eat well and don't smoke! Or be led off into the jungle and propped up against a tree to contemplate the "should-have-done's until mother nature returns you to the soil.
