Monday marks the fifth anniversary of the First Lady’s campaign against childhood obesity in the U.S.
In an interview with Cooking Light magazine, Mrs. Obama discussed how improving people’s health could help save the country money - and save people from the government.
“[T]he most powerful thing that they can do for their overall health is feed their bodies good nutritious food,” Michelle Obama said.
“If you don’t like the doctor, if you don’t like government, if you don’t like folks messing with your life, the best thing to do is make sure you’re healthy. Because that’s going to increase your odds for making sure that you don’t have to deal with the system.”
The First Lady personally championed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a set of federal requirements imposed on public schools regarding their school lunch standards.
Public schools, kids and their parents have to “deal” with the government, whether they like it or not.
See the irony there?
