ActNowBC!
At first, I thought the government of British Columbia is not doing anything to address one of the causes of obesity. Little did I know that they already started formulating a program that will encourage people to participate in changing their lifestyle. Fraser Health Authority launched a program called ActNowBC. This program is holding a contest that requires every members to monitor their food, smoking habits, and exercise. Member wear pedometers to monitor every single step they've made in a day and they upload it in the computer so as to tabulate all the members progress. Whoever gets the highest points at the end of the 2 months period(beginning of February to end of March)will win. This small step that FHA started will hopefully revolutionalized the way we live our lives.

I know that starting in September, the Surrey School District has implemented that all schools have healthy choices for the students; this is definitely a good idea.
This will not stop anybody from going to the drive thru at McDonalds, its a person's personal choice on what they want to eat.
Agreeed with trufant23.
I don't think that this is going to revolutionize the way we live our lives...
