THE WRITER'S DRAFT COMMENTS ON THE DISCUSSION PAPER'S  BELOW QUESTIONS

2. The case for prevention: overweight and obesity

What can individuals and families do to be physically active, eat well and maintain healthy body weights?
INTERESTED ADULTS COULD COMMENCE A REA WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A REC IN A LDREG WHICH WILL HAVE SPIN-OFF BENEFITS TO NARROW THE GENERATION GAP

• increasing the price of tobacco products

  IF WE CAN BAN FIREARMS, WE CAN BAN CIGARETTES WHICH ARE A FAR GREATER HEALTH COST UPON THE COMMUNITY

• sustained, well-funded, hard-hitting public education campaigns

  DESIST LINING THE POCKETS OF ADVERTISING COMPANIES AND TV NETWORKS AS HEALTH & AGEING HAS OVER-KILLED ON "hard-hitting public education campaigns" BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN EASY-OUT FOR HEALTH & AGEING TO ARGUE THAT IT IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT PROVIDING Preventive HEALTH.  YOUR TARGET MARKET HAS WITNESSED PLENTY OF HARD HITTING ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT THE PERILS FROM SMOKING, BUT TOO MANY MALES FROM LOWER SOCIO-ECONOMIC REGIONS AND FEMALES GENERALLY STILL SMOKE

• Do you support our government taking the following actions, which in combination could halve smoking rates?

• progressively increasing the tax on tobacco products to the levels in places such as Ireland, Scandinavia and the UK, and reaching $20 for a packet of 30?

• investing $40–50m a year in public education – less than 1% of revenue from tobacco tax

  I DO NOT SUPPORT WASTING THE FISCAL PURSE EVEN IF IT IS DRAWN FROM CIGARETTE TAXES AS HEALTH & AGEING HAS OVER-KILLED ON "hard-hitting public education campaigns"

• If you do not support these actions and investment, or have other suggestions, what would you propose we do as a nation to halt the toll of early deaths and disease caused by smoking? 
  PROVIDE EVIDENCE THRU RTV PROMOTION OF SMOKERS WHO HAVE OPTED TO GIVE UP SMOKING BECAUSE BY RECAPTURING THEIR YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE, AS A PARTICIPANT IN A LDRREG, THEY DON'T WANT TO SMOKE AS IT HINDERS THEIR PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE WITH THEIR LOCAL EXERCISE MATES, WHERE SMOKING IS NOT CHIC

• Should we prohibit all remaining forms of promotion of tobacco products and mandate plain packaging? 
  BAN CIGARETTE SALES

• Should we move by 2020 to a system where cigarettes are sold only through a limited number of specially licensed outlets? 

  BAN CIGARETTE SALES.  I DO NOT SUPPORT LINING THE POCKETS OF ADVERTISING COMPANIES AND TV NETWORKS AS HEALTH & AGEING HAS OVER-KILLED ON "hard-hitting public education campaigns" BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN EASY-OUT FOR HEALTH & AGEING TO ARGUE THAT IT IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT PROVIDING Preventive HEALTH

• What more can we do to protect children and adults from exposure to second-hand smoke?
  BAN CIGARETTES - MAKE SELLING CIGARETTES ILLEGAL BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH COSTS TO THE COMMUNITY

• Do you support a focus on the suggested priorities?

      THE YELP BUSINESS PLAN EXPLICITLY ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING

• improving health outcomes for Indigenous people
  12 OF 50 VOLUNTEERS IN THE RESEARCH PROGRAMME ARE INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS

• Addressing the cultural place of alcohol
  YELP RENDERS EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION UN-CHIC BECAUSE IT HINDERS PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE IN YOUR LDREG.

Strengthen, skill and support primary health care to help people in making healthy choices
YELP IS A "community-based disease prevention program"

• Supporting brief interventions as part of routine practice by trusted health professionals and other health workers in primary healthcare settings can assist changes in drinking behaviour and attitudes to alcohol consumption. 
  YELP INVOLVES A RESEARCH PROGRAMME TEAM

• If you do not support these actions, or have other suggestions, what would you propose we do as a nation to halt the toll of early deaths and disease caused through alcohol-related harm? 
  PROFILE THRU HILLY RIDES CHALLENGE FORMER ALCOHOLICS AND SMOKERS WHO HAVE IMPROVED THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH & FITNESS  TO  MATERIALLY ALTER LIFESTYLE BECAUSE THEY ENJOY THEIR RREA IN THEIR LDRREG UNDER THE OPTIMUM, UNIFORM DELIVERY MODEL WHICH PROVIDES A LCCBSG

• What are the most important issues that can engage support from individuals, communities, industry and governments and drive cultural change?  
  GAIN INVOLVEMENT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAVE THE SPORTING EXPERIENCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE SKILLS TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL INPUT.  ONLY "ONE IN 500" CIRCA AUSTRALIANS BETWEEN 50 AND 60 YEARS OLD, WHO ARE 'ALL-DONE' SUPERVISING THEIR OWN KIDS AND SO HAVE MORE TIME ON THEIR HANDS  TO BUILD A Local Community Common Bond Support Group WHICH FOSTERS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, AND POSSESS ELEVEN SPORTS ADMINISTRATION ATTRIBUTES TO BECOME RECs. 
  12 MAJOR COMPANIES, AND FOUR PUBLIC SECTOR EQUITY HOLDERS, POSSESS PIONEER FIT OLD FARTS TO FINE-TUNE YELP AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL Complimentary Low Cost Initiatives TO Twelve Low Cost Propagation Initiatives, AS A FOUNDATION FOR PHILANTHROPY.  IT REQUIRES THESE TALENTED PEOPLE  Having 'confidence in the structure'  not about  'spending squillions'

• What prevention strategies work best for high-risk groups, particularly among young people and in Indigenous communities?
  YELP RENDERS EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION UNFASHIONABLE.   READ PROFILES OF RESOLUTE  DIEHARDS.  YOUNG PEOPLE AND INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS CAN SIMILARLY TAKE-UP REGULAR RECREATIONAL EXERCISE WITHIN A LDREG AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO GETTING INEBRIATED PROVIDED THERE IS A STRUCTURE WHICH DELIVERS IT IN A UNIVERSAL AND CONSISTENT FORMAT applying the same rationale of “an optimum, uniform, consistent delivery model” that Dick and Mac McDonald employed when franchising hamburger stores in the U.S. from the mid-50s
