One way to address a Healthy People 2020 health promotion and disease prevention objective for preschoolers is to regulate the paint that is allowed for use in toys.One Healthy People 2020 objective is to eliminate elevated blood-lead levels in children.Paints can contain lead, and lead poisoning can lead to disabilities.Healthy People 2020 objectives do not address either WIC programs or issues of pet dander.Administration or regulation of governmental organizations-e.g., WIC-is not within the purview of Healthy People 2020.Putting forth objectives or goals aimed at decreasing pet ownership in the United States would meet with huge public resistance in view of the popularity of pets within our country.It would likely result in hostility directed toward the agency and thus would be a very counterproductive measure.
