how can i get my family to start excersizing and eating healthy?

Question by Shelbzz: how can i get my family to start excersizing and eating healthy?
I am a 16 year old vegan and have been since i was 8. i excersize often. my family is at super high risk of diabetes (my grandpas on both sides had it, my grandma and uncle have it) my family eats nothing but crap! my dad looks like he is going to keel over and have a heart attack everytime he moves. im not saying i want them to become vegans like i am, but i think their eating habbits definatly need to change. our fridge and pantries are full with poptarts, chips, candy, whole milk, but the thing is if they arent eating that they are eating taco bell, in and out, but tonight it was pizza.
i try to encourage them to atleast eat subway, or atleast buy whole wheat pasta... little things. but they refuse. i ask them to do pilates or yoga or jog or wlak with me but they say later.
what do i do? i tell them i dont want them to get sick. what procedures should i take to help them become more healthy?
i mean they dont have to become health freaks and start chomping on tofu... but i dont want my dad to have a hearft attakc. and my brother is chubby and going into 7th grade... and i dont want him to be made fun of!!
they arent inshape so what would be a good excversize plan to start them with? how do i get them to do it? just give me help!!!
