Mandate - yes, incentivize - yes, encourage - yes, promote - yes, explain - yes. All of those. There is absolutely nothing wrong with mandating exercise at all levels of live from daycare, kindergartens, school, work and even seniors care facilities. The sooner we start doing it the better.
The way things are going, it is not implausible to see people herded into semi-amoebic existence glued to their screens and attached to feeding/excreting tubes in some form or another. It's actually not that far off in a big picture -30? 50? 100 years away, but it will be a reality unless societies wake up and force its populations to become more active.
Or declare another reason to re-distribute wealth of the middle-classes and add another tax in the name of fighting obesity (which I think is forthcoming anyway; just such a low-hanging fruit for any party in power, really).
Or, we resort to conspiracy/sci-fi theories about being taken over by some alien silicone-based AI life form, whose plan is to make us glued to our screens and becoming an energy source.
