Recently I read an article in “Newsweek” that made my day.First lady, Michelle Obama, is leading a nationwide campaign battling childhood obesity.The part that really caught my attention was when the importance of family meals and eating more at home was listed as a major factor in winning the battle.I couldn’t agree more.Here is a little bit of what I read about Mrs. Obama’s initiative:
Let’s Move! has an ambitious but important goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.
Let’s Move will give parents the support they need, provide healthier food in schools, help our kids to be more physically active, and make healthy, affordable food available in every part of our country.
There are so many reasons to sit down to a healthy, home cooked meal and now we can add fighting childhood obesity to the list.This is an initiative that actually makes sense to me and I can whole heartedly support!
