Michelle Obama against child obesity
Related: child obesity, Food & Drink, Michelle Obama, Weight
First lady Michelle Obama is calling obesity an epidemic and one of the greatest threats to America’s health and economy and she will launch a major initiative next month to combat the problem in children.
Obama, speaking at a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said the idea was simple: “To put in place common-sense initiatives and solutions that empower families and communities to make healthy decisions for their kids.”
Great news that she wants to focus on childhood obesity. But until we get rid of the evil that is High Fructose corn syrup and give our entire food supply a drastic overhaul, it’s probably all for nothing. And sadly it is lobbyists and corporations that run our country. You can give kids all of the tools you like, but we are all still eating the same Frankenstein foods.
However maybe training young minds will force a change in how those companies make their foods. You never know.
