Many people believe that dealing with overweight and obesity is a personal responsibility. To some degree they are right, but it is also a community responsibility.

I mean, I am fully aware of my influence and my responsibility to society in general representing the gay community. But in the same time, I don't represent the entire gay community because it's a vast, vast community, as one can imagine.

I have the students for six hours a day. The community has them for 18 hours, plus prenatal and early childhood.

We won't eliminate the gap until the community makes education a priority, but the schools can't wait for the community to do its part.
