The rising trend of obesity in this country contributes significantly to illness. Until this trend is halted and reversed, obesity will consume increasing amounts of resources dedicated to health matters. People need to be taught about nutrition, healthy eating and the need to lead a physically active lifestyle to live a healthy life. It is good to start with the kids
