Aggie,

I meant specifically education on proper nutrition and exercise science, or at least the basics. Most people have no idea whatsoever of what a healthy balanced diet looks like.

Edit: which still leaves the lazy component, but if more people understood that being healthy is a lifestyle change and not a quick fix more people would be healthier instead of going through the dieting yo-yo most people do

I'm not saying nutrition education wouldn't help to some degree....I'm not really disagreeing with you. I just think the lazyness component is a much bigger factor.
