Dismay over anti-obesity program cuts
I'm not dismayed by where the cuts ARE; I'm distressed that funds aren't put into change management in neighbourhoods. Why not fund some people to go into neighbourhoods & work with locals to find solutions to sedentary habits. Regular community walks, runs, swims, dancing, gym work in parks etc. could gradually become part of local community routine. It would be better than stupid advertisements that only get to us if we do something sedentary- like watch TV or read the bus shelter walls! No good telling humans what to do if they don't want to do it- SHOW THEM HOW and encourage them to keep doing it. How many times have you told your kids to tidy their rooms or your wife to walk the dog?? Help the kids by organising a routine and if you think the dog MUST be walked- do it yourself!
Less mouth, more action!
