The issues related to prevent childhood obesity are discussed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Obesity is one of the problems brought on by poor diet and lack of physical activity. Mandatory immunization required safety restraints in cars and restrictions on tobacco and alcohol promotion begin the list. Each citizen must decide whether the toll taken by poor diet and inactivity warrants a similar protective philosophy, but in so doing must consider the high cost that will be visited on America's children by failing to act.
