Mrs. Obama fights fat
Mrs. Obama fights fat
Campaigning against childhood obesity, first lady Michelle Obama says she knows firsthand how tough it can be for stressed parents to fix their kids' bad eating and exercise habits.
The first lady said her own daughters were starting to get off-track before their pediatrician warned her to watch it. She says the family turned things around by cutting out weekday TV time, paying more attention to portion sizes and sneaking more fruits and vegetables onto the table.
Mrs. Obama appeared at a YMCA in Alexandria, Va., Thursday with Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, who issued a report calling obesity a major public health problem.

Thankyou!!!!!!!! somebody is in the leadrship trying to fight childhood obesity. We know that there are bigger problems but leave that to the prez, vp, the House of rep., and the Senate. The first lady has the rite to work with things inside the country. The children need to spend more time outside and excrsising not infront of the TV. People also need to eat right so Thankyou Mrs.Obama for leading this movement!!!!!!!!

I understand that obisity is a problem , but there are bigger problems in the united states , But first thing she decides to do is help lower obicity , hey its not her fault its the parents fualt who feed their children fatty foods . IFf the parents over feed their children he yits their fault they are responsible for their own children . Commercials won't really do anything . Just saying , she should tr to put her effort on something more important . Not to say that her cause isnt important , but still obisity is going too be a problem for a long time if the parents and gardians of the children keep feeding their children wjat ever they want whenever they want , and thats how i think it is goin to be . Not all parent have the time she has to take care of porsions but i still agree , i never said i didnt .
i think it is good mrs oboma is trying to help kids loose wieght i know what the problem is all the fastfood restraunts teens and adaults love fast food but we cant eat it all the time so thank you mrs oboma.
Teen obesity is a very pressing problem so I think it is a good idea to start changing our food habits and exercise habits. the fact that the first lady is trying to help the cause only helps motivate the kids to fix their habits.
I agree with this comment. The first lady is working to motivate children. I think she is being a great influence for children. She will help the children get out of bad habits.
Who cares if you are fat or you are not. People who is not fat they are not fighting for people who like to eat fat things but no body cares is you are fat.
