Study: 3 percent follow health advice

Ohmigosh! It seems as though very few of us swallow all the government propaganda throw at us in the guise of 'health advice'! Whatever are we going to do? The author of this study has a suggestion:

"We need to do much more societally and in terms of government in making an environment where it is a lot easier to do this..."

You can supply your own translation. Random fat checks, anyone? Mandatory exercise programs? Perhaps we're on the road to a truly Healthy State.

Only 3 percent of Americans follow health advice to keep the weight off, exercise regularly, eat five or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day and avoid smoking, according to a report issued Monday.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
