Wow! That's a good question, especially because it's directed towards me. I would definitely start by hiring some of the top leaders in the food and health industry, but they would limited access to the "big wigs" in politics. I want people to feed the people, locally. I would look into eliminating processed foods and coming up with better solutions for those who can't afford proper diets. Obviously, I'm not an expert on the subject, so I would also start with education and make it mandatory that schools help support families into learning about nutrition, especially the first time around. Once that happens, it's bound to lead to success in our communities. People aren't completely ignorant, they just don't know...haha.
Would you expect "carbon offsets" to work effectively?
I don't think that this will be handled effectively for quite some time, not to sound pessimistic. I think this will take a while to come up with the most effective solution; however, just like the "global crisis in diet", it starts with people acknowledging the problem and setting standards and plans to help, no matter how "little" of a step it is, it's still a step. I know that these steps will have to not only come from regular citizens that stay home most of the time, but with those who are constantly on the move. I wouldn't be against taxing those people more for their traveling expenses; however, I do have a problem with taxing the everyday Joe for something like that; it's hard enough to get out as it is.
Do you agree that "Laughter really is the best medicine"?
Abso-freakin-lutely!!! "I love to laugh...ha, ha, ha, ha. Loud and long and clear! " "Laughter is the best medicine." Laughing is the best way to get over yourself, too. How many times have we done something in public we thought was absolutely mortifying, but then we stop, think it's not so bad and bust out laughing? It's the best. Laughing reminds us that we're all human. Some of the best philosophers are comedians. They know what's up! It's all about making each other laugh! If we're having a bad day, it's nice to call up that friend we know could cheer us up if we need a little help. It's usually the most humbled and funny friend that we have, somebody who makes us laugh, as well as lend an open ear.

The tricky thing about "education" with food is that there is so little consensus on what really is a good diet. High fat? Low fat? Reasonable minds can differ. And it may be that there is no "one size fits all" for diet. Maybe everyone needs to eat differently in accordance with their own biochemical make-up.
