Obama should start with kids because having a good weight at a young age is good, now most kids are over weight because of the eating habbits that their parents have and they do the same. More and more science studies show that most people are the problem of their weight. There are not ginetic information that says that a person will be over weight no matter what they do. The world over is having a very big broblem with fat people and it is becoming one of the most exspensive cost to most countries, at the rate things are going the human population must do somthing to slow it down and stop it as soon as possiable. This is not a joke. everyone should not have to fell the pain of it so things must be done and fast. with around 70% of americans over weight and that does not mean a thing REALLY? this is a complicatied subject and things need to be seen with very, very open eyes. are futur is at stake here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-45291764685196076932011-08-03T14:13:35.115-05:002011-08-03T14:13:35.115-05:00Mrs Obama should be teaching HAES (Health At EVERY...Mrs Obama should be teaching HAES (Health At EVERY Size) With HAES it is impossible to be "too fat."Rev Burnhttp://www.NAAFA.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-50754500055228445502010-02-01T07:06:44.733-06:002010-02-01T07:06:44.733-06:00Amen sister.Amen sister.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774535311853591028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-91925253894964703072010-02-01T01:30:11.068-06:002010-02-01T01:30:11.068-06:00"Fighting" obesity.

Fight..."Fighting" obesity. Enough said. <br /><br />Fight Crime. <br /><br />War on Drugs.<br /><br />Obesity = Crime/Drugs??<br /><br />It really makes me ill to find myself in a situation where people with fat on their bodies need to be fought, and in the center of a battle... If I am going to be healthy the last thing on earth that I need is a hard-ass, authoritarian climate. <br /><br />I mean... War on Mental Retardation? America's Battle on Depressed People? <br /><br />Why not make it a mission to get ALL America's Children healthcare (what a thought for a foundation of health?).

HEALTH is quite separate from WEIGHT. I would like the First Lady to focus on children's health rather than the numbers on the scale. Then maybe she can do some good.<br /><br />But if she sticks with her plan to "shape up" American kids by telling them they're too fat, she runs a grave risk of doing more harm than good. Especially if her campaign consists of words and slogans and doesn't actually create access to PE, or good food, or help transport poor kids to after school activities, or any of the other dozens of things that really might improve kids' lives.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774535311853591028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-91133616370858292652010-01-30T16:14:52.941-06:002010-01-30T16:14:52.941-06:00Come on people,I think it's a good idea what t...Come on people,I think it's a good idea what the First Lady is talking about.I support her all the way. We have to get our young kids into P.E. again, from sitting in front of the tv, from sittng playing video games for hours and hours. Eating junk food while talking on the cell phone, lying around. The doctor told my nephew he was on the verge of having diabetes and high blood pressure. He's 9.Less see what we can do to help everyone, mentally and physically. And maybe we can help those who feel the need to make fun of overweight kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-73857368873953003062010-01-30T14:55:28.133-06:002010-01-30T14:55:28.133-06:00This is indeed treading on thin ice and much cauti...This is indeed treading on thin ice and much caution should be exercised...I think in general there should be more attention paid to promoting health (and what constitutes good health) rather than simply avoiding being overweight (or underweight as the case may be).<br /><br />Sarah xmariposaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034092323139133367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-67632031320365790682010-01-30T09:38:33.160-06:002010-01-30T09:38:33.160-06:00i know i was a tall fat kid and by 12 was doing sl...i know i was a tall fat kid and by 12 was doing slimfast at school. i tried them all...deal a meal.....weight watchers....jenny craig......diet pills.....exersize bulimia.....by 16 tht had ballooned into a full fledged eating disorder which has ruined my deeth and digestive track...before MIchelle Obama takes the "loose wight fatty kid" stance she needs to see what those attitudes do in real life.....this skinny crazy and obesity epidemic has a very real side...and i bet 5-10 years down the road we will see a spike in childhood ED....but we wont see it because they are being skinny for their own health.

For instance:<br /><br />Increase access to fresh food for poor people.<br />Support CSAs and other farm-to-market initiatives that benefit both farmers and consumers.<br /><br />But the potential for doing real damage is clear. We don't know how to make people thin over the long term. We do know how to make people feel self-loathing and shame in a way that will stay with them forever.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774535311853591028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-69661637910377717032010-01-29T23:39:31.819-06:002010-01-29T23:39:31.819-06:00I've been dieting since before I can remember....I've been dieting since before I can remember. My mother brags all the time about how little weight she gained when she was pregnant, and it just makes me cringe. I'm so worried about what Mrs. Obama might do and think about the irony that if she were my mother's child, she would have been told all the time that's she's too fat (which I don't believe to be true, but my mother most certainly would).Katienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-11750268456465546182010-01-29T17:36:24.919-06:002010-01-29T17:36:24.919-06:00As a former chunky kid, it was very rough.

I understand the desire to help people get healthy but this is so dangerouse. I was yo-yo dieting from the time I was 12. I never ended up in treatment till I hit 40- by then 12 years of a very abusive ED.Eating With Othershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885274679677042833noreply@blogger.com
