There are many great suggestions already on availability of sidewalks, bicycle-friendly streets, and affordable healthy food choices. Along with these enabling factors for the community, it would be great to periodically offer free health education classes to the general public that explain how lifestyle changes can impact health. The classes would need to be publicized, and offered in an attractive central location that everyone is comfortable with. Also, including more of this type of health education in the schools, along with more aerobic exercise in PE (REQUIRED PLEASE), and healthier school cafeteria offerings would help guide the younger set in the right direction.
