2.  Who do you think is primarily to blame for the childhood obesity crisis in America?  Why?

3.  If you were placed on a government committee and asked to come up  with ONE solution that could potentially reduce the prevalence of  childhood obesity in future generations, what would your solution be?   Explain why you feel your solution would work by giving 1-2 supporting  pieces of evidence.
