Dietary/Nutritional education
Jamie Oliver gets it. Juvenile obesity and diabetes are on the rise. Most of the "diseases of affluence" start during youth. To make a real lifelong impact, nutritional education must start in school or before. Check out his talk at TED http://www.ted.com/talks/jamie_oliver.html

Thanks for posting this! I also thank u for the information on minimally invasive heart surgery! I needed some information! I came across your blog and also see that you attended Tulane. I am studying at Tulane! Please post more information on your findings and your patients outcomes.
Thanks!

Just after reading this post, I noticed that Jamie Oliver has a t.v. show related to this video, so I started to watch it. He's not even trying to get people to eat low fat on the show, he's just trying to get them to avoid horrifically high fat processed glop.
The show that sticks in my mind is when Jamie makes chicken "nuggets" in an attempt to disgust the kids. He takes some chicken back and chicken skin, puts them in a blender, and then adds some filler and fries it up. Apparently that never failed to disgust kids back in England (hey, it worked on me, I was totally disgusted), but the American kids watched him make it and then ate it. Sad stuff.
