Agreed.

Lurky, Incentives might help. Higher rates and taxes for unhealthy people because they refuse to become healthy and are a drain on the health care system. EX: Higher taxes and rates for smokers, fat people etc.

Education on health and nutrition is also a good idea. Other than that, it's just good ol' fashioned will power and discipline.
