get rid of vending machines in school or put healthier stuff into and maybe the parents should be more strict on eating healthy fast food is good but only occassionally

Im not so sure that society could fix this problem.....its the individuals responsibility, or in the case of children it is the parents responsibility to make sure that they are eating healthy. A big problem with obesity is junk food and soda and Super size fries at mcdonalds and all that other fast food crap that is really bad for you....but it tastes so darn good lol

healthier lunch options
lower the price range for healthier meals

uhm. i guess just warn people about the harmful side affects of obesity. like for example once you reach a certian point of fat, your heart starts beating harder because your artieries get clogged. It beats so hard it hits your back and you eventually die. Another thing to do is find a motivation. I woke up one morning feeling fat. and i said "this is the day im gonna loose weight" I lost 15 pounds! im a 14 yr old female.
