This week Michelle Obama launched her first policy initiative as the First Lady. During her first year in the White House she was always vocal about healthy eating and exercise by campaigning for local foods, teaming up with Sesame Street and hosting a healthy kids fair. This new initiative, Let’s Move, aims to teach kids how to increase their daily exercise. In addition the initiative calls on schools to provide healthier meals and for food companies to accurately label the nutritional content of their products. Mrs. Obama said,
“I would move heaven and earth to give my kids all the chance in the world for them to be at the top of their game in every way, shape and form.”
Figures show that 32-percent of kids in the US are obese and Mrs. Obama wants to get these kids to understand how to live a balanced lifestyle where they enjoy healthy foods, prevent illness and are out running, playing and walking.
Celeb Diet Doc
Michelle Obama is taking on an issue that strikes close to home. She put her two daughters Sasha and Malia on a diet after she was warned by their pediatrician that they were becoming overweight. Sugary drinks were replaced with water. More whole fruits and less burgers were the prescription for a healthier diet.
Michelle admits to liking junk food. ‘I love burgers and fries. And I love ice cream and cake. And so do most kids.’ She adds that she’s not excluding these foods entirely. It’s all about dialing up the healthy stuff and dialing down the junk.
