			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" title="10opedlarge" src="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="1218" /></a>

"Even under the weaker versions of health care reform now on offer, health insurers would be required to take everyone at the same rates, provide a standard level of coverage and keep people on their rolls regardless of their health. Terms like “pre-existing conditions” and “underwriting” would vanish from the health insurance rulebook — and, when they do, the relationship between the health insurance industry and the food industry will undergo a sea change...

The moment these new rules take effect, health insurance companies will promptly discover they have a powerful interest in reducing rates of obesity and chronic diseases linked to diet. A patient with Type 2 diabetes incurs additional health care costs of more than ,600 a year; over a lifetime, that can come to more than 0,000. Insurers will quickly figure out that every case of Type 2 diabetes they can prevent adds 0,000 to their bottom line. Suddenly, every can of soda or Happy Meal or chicken nugget on a school lunch menu will look like a threat to future profits...

Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis. To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health — which means going to work on the American way of eating.

But even if we get a health care bill that does little more than require insurers to cover everyone on the same basis, it could put us on that course.

For it will force the industry, and the government, to take a good hard look at the elephant in the room and galvanize a movement to slim it down."

<strong>"I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity."</strong>

<strong>"We've got to start teaching our kids about food in schools. Period."</strong>

<strong>"The big brands need to put food education at the heart of their businesses. It's the future. It's the only way."</strong>

In the past 100 years, we've prolonged the life expectancy of the average American by over 30 years. There are three main reasons for this-- clean water, vaccines, and antibiotics. These are the public health and medical interventions that prevent or treat acute illness and save the children. Because when you save children's lives, you drastically lengthen the life expectancy of a population.

Now we're left with a population full of chronic disease that, for the most part, stems from decades of unhealthy behavior. Without changing behavior, we won't have a relevant impact on chronic disease. We don't have pills that reverse 40 years of smoking, unhealthy eating, and sitting on the couch.

Our number one priority at The Future Well is using intelligent design to change our nation's behavior for the better. It's the key to our well future. ]]></content:encoded>

Terms like “pre-existing conditions” and “underwriting” would vanish from the health insurance rulebook — and, when they do, the relationship between the health insurance industry and the food industry will undergo a sea change...

The moment these new rules take effect, health insurance companies will promptly discover they have a powerful interest in reducing rates of obesity and chronic diseases linked to diet. A patient with Type 2 diabetes incurs additional health care costs of more than ,600 a year; over a lifetime, that can come to more than 0,000. Insurers will quickly figure out that every case of Type 2 diabetes they can prevent adds 0,000 to their bottom line. Suddenly, every can of soda or Happy Meal or chicken nugget on a school lunch menu will look like a threat to future profits...

Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis. To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health — which means going to work on the American way of eating.

But even if we get a health care bill that does little more than require insurers to cover everyone on the same basis, it could put us on that course.

For it will force the industry, and the government, to take a good hard look at the elephant in the room and galvanize a movement to slim it down."

<strong>"I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity."</strong>

<strong>"We've got to start teaching our kids about food in schools. Period."</strong>

<strong>"The big brands need to put food education at the heart of their businesses. It's the future. It's the only way."</strong>

In the past 100 years, we've prolonged the life expectancy of the average American by over 30 years. There are three main reasons for this-- clean water, vaccines, and antibiotics. These are the public health and medical interventions that prevent or treat acute illness and save the children. Because when you save children's lives, you drastically lengthen the life expectancy of a population.

Now we're left with a population full of chronic disease that, for the most part, stems from decades of unhealthy behavior. Without changing behavior, we won't have a relevant impact on chronic disease. We don't have pills that reverse 40 years of smoking, unhealthy eating, and sitting on the couch.

Our number one priority at The Future Well is using intelligent design to change our nation's behavior for the better. It's the key to our well future. ]]></content:encoded>

In the past 100 years, we've prolonged the life expectancy of the average American by over 30 years. There are three main reasons for this-- clean water, vaccines, and antibiotics.

Because when you save children's lives, you drastically lengthen the life expectancy of a population.

Now we're left with a population full of chronic disease that, for the most part, stems from decades of unhealthy behavior.

Our number one priority at The Future Well is using intelligent design to change our nation's behavior for the better. It's the key to our well future. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" title="10opedlarge" src="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="1218" /></a>

"Even under the weaker versions of health care reform now on offer, health insurers would be required to take everyone at the same rates, provide a standard level of coverage and keep people on their rolls regardless of their health. Terms like “pre-existing conditions” and “underwriting” would vanish from the health insurance rulebook — and, when they do, the relationship between the health insurance industry and the food industry will undergo a sea change...

The moment these new rules take effect, health insurance companies will promptly discover they have a powerful interest in reducing rates of obesity and chronic diseases linked to diet. A patient with Type 2 diabetes incurs additional health care costs of more than ,600 a year; over a lifetime, that can come to more than 0,000. Insurers will quickly figure out that every case of Type 2 diabetes they can prevent adds 0,000 to their bottom line. Suddenly, every can of soda or Happy Meal or chicken nugget on a school lunch menu will look like a threat to future profits...

Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis. To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health — which means going to work on the American way of eating.

But even if we get a health care bill that does little more than require insurers to cover everyone on the same basis, it could put us on that course.

For it will force the industry, and the government, to take a good hard look at the elephant in the room and galvanize a movement to slim it down."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" title="10opedlarge" src="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="1218" /></a>

"Even under the weaker versions of health care reform now on offer, health insurers would be required to take everyone at the same rates, provide a standard level of coverage and keep people on their rolls regardless of their health. Terms like “pre-existing conditions” and “underwriting” would vanish from the health insurance rulebook — and, when they do, the relationship between the health insurance industry and the food industry will undergo a sea change...

The moment these new rules take effect, health insurance companies will promptly discover they have a powerful interest in reducing rates of obesity and chronic diseases linked to diet. A patient with Type 2 diabetes incurs additional health care costs of more than ,600 a year; over a lifetime, that can come to more than 0,000. Insurers will quickly figure out that every case of Type 2 diabetes they can prevent adds 0,000 to their bottom line. Suddenly, every can of soda or Happy Meal or chicken nugget on a school lunch menu will look like a threat to future profits...

Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis. To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health — which means going to work on the American way of eating.

But even if we get a health care bill that does little more than require insurers to cover everyone on the same basis, it could put us on that course.

For it will force the industry, and the government, to take a good hard look at the elephant in the room and galvanize a movement to slim it down."

<strong>"We've got to start teaching our kids about food in schools. Period."</strong>

In the past 100 years, we've prolonged the life expectancy of the average American by over 30 years. There are three main reasons for this-- clean water, vaccines, and antibiotics. These are the public health and medical interventions that prevent or treat acute illness and save the children. Because when you save children's lives, you drastically lengthen the life expectancy of a population.

Now we're left with a population full of chronic disease that, for the most part, stems from decades of unhealthy behavior. Without changing behavior, we won't have a relevant impact on chronic disease. We don't have pills that reverse 40 years of smoking, unhealthy eating, and sitting on the couch.

Our number one priority at The Future Well is using intelligent design to change our nation's behavior for the better. It's the key to our well future. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" title="10opedlarge" src="http://thefuturewell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10opedlarge.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="1218" /></a>

"Even under the weaker versions of health care reform now on offer, health insurers would be required to take everyone at the same rates, provide a standard level of coverage and keep people on their rolls regardless of their health. Terms like “pre-existing conditions” and “underwriting” would vanish from the health insurance rulebook — and, when they do, the relationship between the health insurance industry and the food industry will undergo a sea change...

The moment these new rules take effect, health insurance companies will promptly discover they have a powerful interest in reducing rates of obesity and chronic diseases linked to diet. A patient with Type 2 diabetes incurs additional health care costs of more than ,600 a year; over a lifetime, that can come to more than 0,000. Insurers will quickly figure out that every case of Type 2 diabetes they can prevent adds 0,000 to their bottom line. Suddenly, every can of soda or Happy Meal or chicken nugget on a school lunch menu will look like a threat to future profits...

Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis. To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health — which means going to work on the American way of eating.

But even if we get a health care bill that does little more than require insurers to cover everyone on the same basis, it could put us on that course.

For it will force the industry, and the government, to take a good hard look at the elephant in the room and galvanize a movement to slim it down."

<strong>"I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity."</strong>

<strong>"We've got to start teaching our kids about food in schools. Period."</strong>

<strong>"The big brands need to put food education at the heart of their businesses. It's the future. It's the only way."</strong>

In the past 100 years, we've prolonged the life expectancy of the average American by over 30 years. There are three main reasons for this-- clean water, vaccines, and antibiotics. These are the public health and medical interventions that prevent or treat acute illness and save the children. Because when you save children's lives, you drastically lengthen the life expectancy of a population.

Now we're left with a population full of chronic disease that, for the most part, stems from decades of unhealthy behavior. Without changing behavior, we won't have a relevant impact on chronic disease. We don't have pills that reverse 40 years of smoking, unhealthy eating, and sitting on the couch.

Our number one priority at The Future Well is using intelligent design to change our nation's behavior for the better. It's the key to our well future. ]]></content:encoded>

Genius. Simple. Beautiful design. Passive data collection lets you just live your life normally. And it gives positive or negative feedback anywhere you are about your weight. We'll see more of these passive systems analyzing how you live your life in the future. But the real question is this: once you have the data, how do you act on it? ]]></content:encoded>
