What can be done with the obesity epidemic in America?

Well there a few problems that would have to be overcome. The first would be that it is cheaper to eat bad food than nutritious quality food, unfortunately that probably isn't going to change since the production of 80% our food, including dairy and meat is controlled by a handful of large corporations who have systematically eradicated the competition over the years and can virtually charge what they want now. The second would be the laziness, just the complete and total laziness of the average US citizen. It's embarring how little exercise the average person gets on a daily basis. The majority of health problems could be cleared up if only people would diet and exercise down to their proper weight and were no longer obese. Our health care costs would also go down as a result. Third would be lack of time to dedicate time to proper exercise and nutrition. Eating healthy on a budget is difficult, it takes time, dedication and preparation, that not everyone can see making the time for.
