The FLOTUS Showing Hospitality About "A Healthier You"

I have been hearing this all this week about Michele Obama going to Jackson to promote healthier food choice for children and fighting obesity, out of all place Jackson, MS. Now I do live in Mississippi and think this a nice thing that Michele Obama is doing.

Obama’s tour was the first of two stops at schools where programs to keep children active are held out as examples of fighting obesity.

Obama was in Jackson to promote school health as part of her recently announced Let’s Move! campaign. The campaign in part focuses on a healthy diet and physical activity in schools.

……As much as she fighting for obesity, is the children’s parent going to fight obesity?

I really see some of the parents and stores fighting for it (mainly grocery stores, like your neighborhood Kroger and Wal Mart). That is good. Also, the other part of my mind is saying this…

I can’t see it. I live in a state where I can identify many Preciouses’ than Paula Pattons’. But it never starts with the child. It is the parent. Those elementary schools she is going have store that are ran by Middle-Eastern Americans that usually have Rap Snacks, Golden Flake Sweet Heat and candy up the ying-yang (I am not going to forget about the thick ham sandwiches, not the thin deli ones.) The children are going to see the FLOTUS and get happy, and do the things that she tells us. After one month, back to munching those Rap Snacks and Golden Flake Sweet Heat all over again.

The point is it takes parents to choose how you want to eat. I know that most of my family eats healthy every now and then. It is called miss-a-meal. As for the children, I believe that you can have Souljah Boi do a dance called “Eat Healthy” and promote an apple a day; but if the child say “I am hungry,” at the point of our microwave mindset will have those parents going to the nearest gas station than driving minutes to a nearby grocery store.

But I really do give the FLOTUS thumbs up for promoting it. Children need inspiration like that.

(Do you see Mrs. Barbour and Governor Barbour compared to Michele Obama. And you wonder why they call us the “Fattest State.”)

How are you promoting a healthier you? I am going to eat steam broccoli 3 times a day (Wait a minute, I do that already).

First Lady is coming to Mississippi to promote "Let's Move."
