First Lady, MichelleObama wins her fist legislative victory by getting the Child Nutrition Bill pass. Obama challenged Congress to stop childhood obesity by campaigning through her "Let's Move" campaign. "Let's Move," has been a project dear to Obama, having children of her own and realizing the epidemic in America. The battle with obesity and children's health due to poor eating habits and lifestyles. The campaign goals were to promote healthy eating habits, excerising, and ending childhood obesity. Congress passed a 4.5 billion nutrition bill to help eleveate the pain of obesity in American children. The bill will help schools fund a better lunch program for students. The reauthorization of the bill supported Obama's key components. It included the adoption of national food nutrition standards on all school campuses and a funding increase that would result in healthier food options in school cafeterias. Chidren in America are becoming more and more obesed. Some people are blaming poor income wages for the problem and others are targeting the school lunch programs as the reasons why. Well, whatever the reason may be the problem is only becomig worse. Think about it, many parents are working parents. They are sometimes to busy for themselves; let alone in a position to cook. Children are becoming less healthy due to the changes in lifestyles and consistent poor food choices. Check out Michelle speaking about her "LET'S MOVE" campaign.
