First Lady's Latest Efforts to Combat Childhood Obesity

While many may disagree with First Lady Michelle Obama's efforts to get America, particularly American children, to eat healthier, I stand next to her and say: It's past time America, to deal with our eating problems! Most recently, the First Lady addressed the NRA (National Restaurant Association) and asked restaurant owners around the country to offer healthier food options that are also easy to find so parents can find the information and guide their kids' eating habits better. With 1 in 3 children in this country overweight or obese, greater food portions and more kids staying in rather than going out and being active, I commend the First Lady in addressing this very important issue.
