Pre-writing (Rogerian)

What is something that I can find common ground on that concerns me to the point of trying to find a solution, tough question. Since my major that I am going into is Kinesiology, a major part of my life is health, eating the right foods and getting enough exercise, both of which can be difficult at this day and age. However both nutrition and daily exercise is attainable, but to what extent? I guess my question or concern is more for children who begin their eating habits and exercise habits based on parents, friends, or school. Grown adults now are not going to change very easily, and most change due to something more traumatic such as weight gain. America is one of the fattest countries in the world due to unhealthy food and lack of exercise, so how should this issue be handled? Should the government intervene? Is this considered a national crisis or epidemic, many seem to treat is as such. What is there to do? There is only so much that food companies can do, some are trying to switch over to healthier forms of making their product. For example, the baked potato chips are starting to become more popular, needless to say that it is still unhealthy, but it is a step towards healthier foods. Should others follow by example, yes. Though an immediate change would be best, that is highly unlikely to happen, but a gradual change is the best solution for everyone. Implementing more exercise time in classes and healthier foods in schools, making sure that children begin healthy habits. Possibly have students in health classes begin nutrition and exercise logs earlier than high school or college, but maybe late elementary or early middle school. The problem with that though, for girls it may cause them to become too self-conscious and lead to other problems. So how can everyone come to a common ground on this without causing too much damage?
