Michelle Obama’s plan to launch a child obesity initiative in our nation’s school systems could help better the health for our next generation. Through her efforts, President Obama signed a memorandum today that will hopefully help counteract the high numbers of children that are obese in our country today. Her actions will most likely increase the amount of money designated for lunches and activity programs in our children’s schools. The thought process is most likely that more money towards lunch and physical activities means they can afford to spend more on healthier foods and activity programs, thus resulting in less obesity for children in our schools. It’s a great way to start building healthy habits in the inner city and rural areas that might not have had the capacity to do so without this initiative.
