From the Huffington Post: Personal responsibility in fighting obesity (disagree with "primary challenge" though. Primary challenge is will power, not education or information analysis)

Enlisting Technology to Fight Obesity

Posted: 10/31/2012 6:35 pm
"Personal responsibility starts with each one of us that makes a decision to fight family obesity. As part of personal responsibility, we are expected to develop healthy living habits, starting with the selection of healthy food items. Just imagine the positive impact that exercising personal responsibility on a massive scale would have on healthy nutrition. After all, if everyone would only buy healthy products, then companies would stop manufacturing unhealthy products, as there would be no demand for them. The primary challenge with exercising personal responsibility, however, is that successful execution of this commitment is contingent upon consumers' ability to analyze information on healthy nutrition and select the healthiest products."
