Unless it's built into government mandates, it's very difficult to effectively make time for health.

Unless it's built into government mandates, it's very difficult to effectively make time for health.

From the article We need policies that will help make healthier lifestyles occur by default, or that make purposeful changes easier or more valuable. Whether those changes are sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, front-of-package health claim reforms, banning advertising that targets children, improved school food policies and programs, zoning laws affected where fast food and convenience stores are located and more, there are no shortage of options.

I see this constantly. Where are convenience stores with tasty cheap fatty foods? Adjacent to schools. New mothers start well with coming back to work out if there is babysitting until kids start their activities then we don't see them regularly for a decade and it's not because they've been working out elsewhere. Personally I would like to see serving sizes in restaurants change or takeaway containers come be available on the table at all times. I always ask for one and put half my meal away for later but we frequently think - hey we could have shared that meal after we're finished (this is compounded by Fred eating vegan). Central parkades and very visible stairs would also help although there is the tension between encouraging activity and being disabled friendly.

I recently moved offices. I used to be upstairs where I had to do stairs for bathroom and printer use. Now I have the printer in my office and the bathroom is 10 steps away. It's hard to remember to walk around for no purpose. What do you think would make things easier to increase activity through the day?
