I had no idea TB was something so prevalent in Canadian society. :( More than ever, we need to get our agenda together as a country, as a world.
In reply the the obesity comments, I can't help but think that if the Obama administration was sincere in fighting obesity, they would take arms (metaphorically of course) against the Fast food industry. Pop/soda is frighteningly bad for people, but its consumed all over the world. Overcoming challenges for obesity, shouldn't only be about encouraging parents to buy healthier food (which is often more expensive) and getting people to exercise more (cuts to school PE and sports groups sure arn't helping), but going after corporations that develop and mass produce these unhealthy items. Let's not gloss over it. McDonald's has to go.
