I’m very passionate about health and fitness and I want to help others get in shape and fight the good fight against obesity. How can I volunteer in the Los Angeles area and do my part?

Working for better fitness or better food for everyone is a little more realistic. If you’re passionate about fitness, try coaching a children’s team. Or donating to one of the groups trying to ban trans fats from restaurants or get involved in the slow food movement or somesuch. Read a book like "the Omnivore’s Dilemma" to learn about the problems with our food production and distribution and how you might want to work improve it.
