Mrs. Obama wants to revise federal child nutrition programs, such as school lunches, that would and could potentially impact more than "30 million kids". She also states her steps to encourage schools to promote healthy eating, increase physical activity, improve families access to healthy foods and give parents better information about healthy choices.
This article really stood out to me because ever since I became interested in health and nutrition, years ago!, I've tried to keep up with everything going on with schools. I think that helping children be nutritionally educated is one of the most important things in life. Our First Lady is moving in the right direction for this country and I'm really hoping that it will work out to help the lives of millions of children across the country!
Check out the article for more information on her plan!

Hey
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you posted this article on childhood obesity because I found something similar. I really commend Michelle Obama for encourging schools to have more healthier options for kids. I really feel like this push from the white house will only make schools realize how important it is to eat right. Childhood obesity is not fun for anyone parents and schools alike need to come toegther and embrace the change for our children's future.
I agree with you both. I think it is great that Michelle Obama is encouraging a healthier diet for kids. Child obesity is one of the huge problems in the world today and it is because of their diets of fast food and unhealthy snacks that they get more then twice a week for most households as well as the long hours sitting on their butts watching tv or playing video games instead of playing outside or doing indoor activities in the winter. I think that more parents will step up to help their children since the first lady is making it a big issue.
