Michelle Obama Talks Nutrition

The First lady, working to make children more aware of a healthy lifestyle. 

With it being September, and the focus being on either Hunger Awareness or Childhood Obesity, brings in talk on how to fix these two opposite problems. Michelle Obama, has spent her past six years trying to put emphasis on getting children healthy and active. Michelle Obama herself, says that when Barack got a health wake up call, that it is when she set out to fix these problems. She has been working to redesign public spaces, creating bike paths, and cleaning parks so that children have a place to get active in a safe and clean environment. She also has been working with food and beverage companies to reducing the amount of calories on children's menus and in schools, and also putting the calories on menus so from a young age, people start paying attention to what they are putting in their bodies. She directly says, that being healthy is a lifestyle and its not about a scale its about feeling that your the best you can be. I think that this very important to our lifestyles, especially to children because most Americans aren't making living a healthy and active lifestyle a priority, resulting in most Americans being over weight.
