Michelle Obama has taken the initiative in leading a new program coming from the White House that is an attempt to fight the continually rising epidemic that is childhood obesity. According to recent studies, one in three youth in America are overweight or obese.
The program hopes to push the food industry towards healthier ways of eating and informing the general public of what they are eating by having companies label the front of packages with nutrition facts, as opposed to simply having the generic fine print on the backs of products.
Hopefully this push by our First Lady will prove to be a successful one, as childhood obesity is really a problem that needs to be taken care of quickly, or we will find that our entire country is going to be swallowed by this ever growing problem.
