Doctor Laursen’s Public Health Initiative #1
Grocery Store Proposal
Given: Excess weight and obesity have become the #1 cause of illness and death in the United States, affecting both adults and children, WE propose that all food and grocery store owners voluntarily remove their candy and soda pop junk food items from the impulse buying check-out lines of their stores - for the health of the country.
Reason: We have legislated against the display and advertising of tobacco and alcohol products when they were the number one causes of harm; and now that obesity and excess weight have surpassed these problems, responsible community businesses should not be pushing these harmful “drugs” onto our children nor adults.
Doctor Laursen’s Health Initiative # 2
School Vending Proposal
Given: Our children are being impacted by the obesity epidemic, WE propose that all schools remove all candy and soda pop from their vending machines; and only dispense water and natural foods within our schools.
Reason: Good health traits and habits develop early. The percentage of our children now being affected with excess weight justify this health change.
Doctor Laursen’s Health Initiative # 3
Restaurant Menu Information
Given: People want to eat more healthily and be informed of what they are eating, WE propose that all restaurants list on the back of their menus the sources of their a) drinking and food preparation water, b) source of their fish and produce, and c) what types of oils the restaurant uses in their food preparations.
Reason: Gluten and cow dairy are the number 1 and 2 causes of damaging food allergies. Whether it is farm raised fish or wild fish, organic, local or other food origin, filtered water or other water sources, olive oil or canola oil, cottonseed oil or any oils are all information people deserve to know when they are choosing to eat in a healthy lifestyle.
