The belief that public health measures are not intended for people like us is widely held by many people like me. Public health, we assume, is for people with less - less education, less-healthy habits, less access to quality health care, less time and money.

As a physician specializing in nutrition, my priority is to the health of the public.

It is obvious that different individuals require different things to live good, healthy, and virtuous lives.

Each of us should take personal responsibility for our diet, and our children's diet, and the government's role should be to make certain it provides the best information possible to help people stay healthy.

Individuals will speak their minds, which I think is healthy.

Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.

Most Americans think that public health is services for poor people, and since most Americans hate poor people and want all poor people's services destroyed, they hate public health.

It's the age of information and we need to just get as informed as we can about what other things might help us live healthy lives.

I learned in a very public setting what works and doesn't work for a healthy lifestyle.

Whatever concerns health is of real public interest.
