Perhaps a holistic (or wholistic) approach is what is needed. Why do people overeat? Why do people smoke or drink in excess?
I like the Australia Institute's idea of a wellbeing manifesto and it relates well to a national health program.

For any real change, education is only one part. Education is not always effective when the root cause is not identified or ignored.

While health is partly a personal responsibility, it does not absolve governments of their duty of care in providing high quality primary health care,care for the aged and providing the sort of environments that contribute positively to people taking more responsibility .
