I don't necessarily agree. Yes, we teach children to wash their hands, but first of all there's always a threshold over which people stop giving a damn. How many people are actually following their doctors' advice about diet and lifestyle? Heck, how many people actually take their medicine as prescribed? And there's also a danger in the other extreme. It's pretty bad that many people these days are self-medicating, many times with antibiotics or avoiding vaccines and it's even worse when they do it to their children.

Something to think about. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for education. And just like sexual education, I'd introduce classes about online privacy in elementary school.
