Michelle Obama decides to tackle a problem that's sweeping the nation: child obesity. Today, President Obama signed a memorandum of the problem in question. This is a great issue to be focused on because obesity can cause diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and asthma which are all diseases that only adults should have to deal with. Many of the cheap and "delicious" foods that are sold countrywide are high in fat, salts, or sugar. And with excess amounts of any of of those three can increase the weight and decrease the health of a child.Mrs. Obama has supported healthy eating in the past. A previous blog post of her on Sesame Street shows her planting a garden of organic fruits and vegetables.
Although this obesity issue might not solve very quickly, Michelle Obama believes that,
This problem can be solved...We have everything we need right now to help our kids lead healthy lives
and so do I. Let's hope the president's strong wife can pull America out of it's obese ways.
