Learn The Facts




"Learn the Facts"
"The physical and emotional health of an entire generation and the economic health and security of our nation is at stake."
- First Lady Michelle Obama at the Let’s Move! launch on February 9, 2010
The article begins by stating statistics about child obesity. It then goes on to describe the changes that caused this sudden increase in obesity. First Lady Michelle Obama's new program Let's Move!, focuses on the eating habits of young children. Michelle's goal is to force cafeterias to serve healthy food only. The article then provides a generalized description of Michelle's program.
I chose this article because it provides a lot of statistics, as well as, examples of the changes, from the past to the present, in children's eating habits. Along with statistics and examples, it also provides an excellent overall description of Michelle's program. I believe that the majority of the article will be very useful when I begin to write my final paper.
