Kentucky Color: We can do better By Billy Joe Fudge We have all suffered through a decline of our health and quality of life since the advent of the USDA's food pyramid in '92. Even the 2011 improved, updated nutrition guide, called MyPlate, has not seemed to have captured public attention or restrained our hunger for or our dependence upon unhealthy foods. Combined with the continuing degradation of our physical and mental health caused by sedentary lifestyles, our quality of life has been in a literal, premature death spiral! I am happy that the effort to define healthy eating continues and that the federal government continues to bring attention to the importance of eating healthy. Now, every level of government should take steps to incentivize physical activity! Every school in the nation should prioritize physical activity and physical education in their curriculum! Every parent should realize that by allowing their children to imprison themselves in the home, on the sofa and behind a screen, may very well be setting them up for an unhealthy, torturous and shortened life! We can and must do better! This story was posted on 2026-01-15 15:01:25
