thought leaders

With manufacturers making their "Healthy Weight Commitment" and pledging to cut 1.5 trillion calories a year from their products; with Walmart promising to sell products with less sugar, salt and trans-fats, and to reduce their prices on healthy items like fresh fruits and vegetables; and with the First Lady's big drive to improve healthy eating in schools and the excellent thought of urging doctors to write out prescriptions for exercise; these are marvellous ideas that I am sure will make a major difference.

HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales

I know that a number of you… have come together to create the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation to help address the issue of childhood obesity. So there are so many good examples, wonderful examples, of folks beginning to move in the right direction. It’s very exciting.

Excerpt from First Lady Michelle Obama’s remarks at the GMA Science Forum

I look to the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation as a resource to teach children these basics of healthy living—calories in and calories out—and inspire them to live in this balanced way.
