You are so right and kudos to your grandson for being smart enough to listen. Also right about being on the receiving end of sitting next to an obese person. Doctors don’t do enough to “push” their patients to lose weight. A simple reminder or suggestion is not going to work. The obesity epidemic in this country affects all areas of our government and society and workplace and your pocketbook.
We are in crisis mode in America. It’s not always okay to accept who you are . I think videos like the one we saw do more damage and make people more complacent. It’s not easy but if you can fix the problem then you should.
Learn about the foods you put into your body and how they affect your health. Don’t be enablers. The food and agricultural industry doesn’t care about you....pharmaceutical companies don’t care about you. Boycott the junk foods so prevalent the supermarkets and make the companies pay attention. Only you can do it.

Go to a book store and spend an hour or two. How many books on diet and nutrition do you see next to cookbooks on southern fried foods and decadent desserts? Do some reading....read the science behind food. There are sensible doctors and authors amid all the fads and nonsense on the shelves and everyone is making money off of you.

@imallers jumping in here . It will take an act of congress to bring fast food places to retool there foods they serve to non fat low sugar products. Granted some fast food places are trying to change the way they serve food but a lot don't . Not only is it a social issue but a health issue for those who gorge them selves on fatty foods. I'm not naming name as that wouldn't be right to single out places. Education is the key to starting the children then it may correct itself in time. Does this make sense?
