Do you really think that our kids are fat?
I don't have anything against Ms Obama but just to get the point across why don't we moms tell Ms Obama what is the weight and height or our kids. Would you please?

Childhood obesity may be a problem, but I certainly don't see it where I live. Of course, I live in a state where we are very fit. My kids are far from overweight. My oldest is 15 and at 5'6" she only weight 105 lbs. She eats like a horse, but she eats well (not all junk, etc). My other children are also kind of underweight, but not in an unhealthy way. I was always very thin too (until I had four kids, that is). I do agree that we need to educate parents and children on making better choices when we eat.
My biggest problem with it is this; I hope we don't go overboard and create a generation of young women (and men) with eating disorders.

I don't think MY child is too fat, but I do agree that whenever I'm around a bunch of kids, an inordinate amount of them seem to be overweight... Then again, it's not just kids, it's adults too. Whether we like it or not, a very large percentage of people in this country (including myself) are overweight. And I do believe bad eating habits and lack of exercise play an important part in that development.Found an answer to your question?

I think it is a serious issue. I am not saying all kids are over weight, but trying to get families and children to eat a more healthy diet seems like a worthy cause. The healthier you eat, the more active you are, etc. all help towards making a person more healthy overall....which would then mean less doctors visits, missed school, missed work, etc. I guess I think its common knowledge that obesity in America (not just with children) is a problem.....Found an answer to your question?

Just because your children are not fat, does not mean that childhood obesity is not a crisis in this country. The facts are that children are moving less and eating more, that equals a lot of fat kids. Obese kids have all kinds of medical issues, and when they reach adulthood, it is even harder for them to lose weight.
We should be applauding her efforts to raise awareness for this issue. I mean every parent's goal should be a healthy and happy kid.Found an answer to your question?
