Overprotective parents harming kids' long-term health: report
       This is a report card on  Physical Activity .   I wonder how  the food environment would  measure up  in a report card .  Let's expand our thinking to explore the food environment at hospitals, drugstores, child cenetered  community buildings  just to name a few . Tobacco  machines were removed  when legisaltion began to percalate in Canada.   Who are the forces  hinged onto Physical Activity ?   We can do better  and everyday we  sit and  simply blame  the obesity crisis onto the individual is a missed  opportunity to create  real change .    Paul Murphy  
      Health Canada just dolled out 4.5 Million Dollars on Weight Loss Research.  How bout some dollars on Prevention  ala  Tobacco Legislation in Canada.
