Summary:
First lady Obama, the nation’s nutrition nanny, is aiming to end
American childhood obesity. She is trying to change the children bad habits to
the healthier ones. According to Benac, nearly one-third of the US children are
overweight or obese. For that reason, Frist lady Obama had started her campaign
under the logo of ‘Let’s Move’ which tended to fight obesity of US children.
Let’s Move campaign’s goal is to recruit the children’s food providers, such as
parents, schools, food manufacturers, to provide healthy food and help to
change the children’s habits of eating. On the other hand, contests with money
prize are made to encouraged video games designers to design games that make
children eat and exercise. On the political side, Obama’s administration had
suggested US$10 billion over 10 years for healthier school lunches. Throughout
Obama’s campaign, she claims that obesity would not end unless parents, schools
and communities work together.

Response:
I agree that obesity is a major problem with children. I think if
we do as Mrs. Obama said of working together, we would help our children to
change their eating habits. Also, we know that today most children like video
games and if these games changed to be games that need a player’s movement such
as the Wii, it would helpful for the children to exercise. I believe that the
government must care about children obesity problem because if the next
generation lifecycles is less than the current one that means this nation is
coming to end sooner. Finally, why the government could not be strict of junk
food providers and let them serve freely the bad food to our children?
