Dr Oz Gets it Right

As much as I rant against Dr Oz and as much as the Huffington Post is beginning to annoy me with it’s celebrity gossip and daily almost nude photos, they both just redeemed themselves this week with Oz’s wonderful column entitled. “Real Health Reform – What’s Next?

We need to create a culture of health and wellness that fosters a nationwide understanding that personal behaviors are a major factor in health and well-being. And at the same time, we need to make the necessary societal changes so that all individuals are supported in making the correct choices. We need to make it easier to do the right thing.

Oz recommends changes as sweeping as reforming the food supply, changing how we feed our children in school, improving air and water quality and finding ways to reduce stress and incorporate physical activity into our daily lives. Its an agenda much larger than anything facing the Senate right now, but includes many things that most American people can start to do today that don’t require an act of Congress.

Ambitious, yes. Impossible, no.

Do the right thing.

I like it.
