Assignment: Write publication based on workshop presentations by community leaders, advocates, and policy makers on initiatives to stop the childhood obesity epidemic.

Excerpt: "...a paradigm shift that recognizes the role of the community environment is emerging, but it is far from universally accepted."

Comment: The community leaders and elected officials who spoke are among those who "get it," but they could realistically discuss how obesity-related policies succeed or fail.
