Much has been written about poor school lunch choices and children’s lack of adequate exercise and financial illiteracy.  Not surprisingly, some schools have started to implement (or reinstate) physical education and personal finance programs and are reporting positive behavior changes as a result.  Many more schools, however, need to offer these programs.

Just as children can be reached with health and personal finance programs at school, employer-sponsored programs can enhance adults’ knowledge and prompt behavioral changes.  Examples of health initiatives include a company gym or exercise program, healthy vending machine or cafeteria options, and health screenings.  These supports are especially important when a high number of workers commute long distances.  A widely quoted 2004 study of Atlanta, GA area commuters found that, for every 30 minutes that commuters drive, they have a 3% greater chance of being overweight.
