Hi,

I've been listing to the shows about the health care debate. One of the things I hear mentioned quite a bit is taking personal responsibility for your health. My suggestion is a show talking about how our schools don't give us adequate knowledge about nutrition to make it possible for us to take personal responsibility in the first place. To really understand your bodies nutritional needs you have to seek out books or classes at colleges or go online. So maybe congress should mandate more nutritional classes in our schools to help people make better food choices through out their life, and thus helping improve the health of our nation.
