It's been a while since the anti-smoking campaigns started. Nowadays, there are just few places where one can smoke. The last ban in our town in CA has been the public parks. Smoking is not allowed at any place in any public park at all.
That is something quite remarkable. These bans have accomplished their mission.
Mrs. Obama has started a great campaign against Obesity. If I could tell her my idea to start this effort, this is what I would say:
"Thanks Mrs. Obama for having this initiative on our children and people in general, it is a difficult goal to approach, and nobody to start this process than you.
My idea is: Let's do it as smoking campaigns were done. Ban all the TV commercials about junk food, specially on Kids TV shows and channels. Let's tear down all the street ads about fast food and junk food. No photos at any place, in any newspaper, magazine. No junk food in museums, amusement parks, movie theaters, buses, airports, train stations. No junk food in any stationary machines at all. No more fund raising selling chocolates at any school. Let's do it exactly as people has banned the tobacco industry. Thanks again."
Do you think that could be possible?
