Default Obama's Health care suggestion

One of the largest sources of prevention of health problems later in
life is weight control. and look at what the government is doing in this
rather cost conscious attempt to do something about this.
The First lady sent me this e-mail.


Good Afternoon,
Iım writing to share a startling prospect: due to rising levels of
childhood obesity, our Nationıs youngest generation could actually face
a shorter expected lifespan than its parents.

Thatıs unacceptable. As Americans, we all work tirelessly to provide a
better world for the next generation. As a mother, I can tell you that
nothing is as important as a childıs health.

The problem is clear. Over the past three decades, childhood obesity
rates in this country have tripled. Today, obesity and excess weight
threaten the health of one out of three American children.
Itıs time for us to act. That's why Iım asking you to be part of Let's
Move! -- a nationwide effort to solve the obesity epidemic within one
generation. Learn more he

Today, pediatricians treat children with high blood pressure, high
cholesterol and even Type II diabetes. Teachers see bullying and teasing
in class. School counselors see kids with depression and low
self-esteem. Coaches see kids struggling to keep up or stuck on the
sidelines.

Obesity affects our economy as well. Our country spends nearly $150
billion treating obesity-related conditions like diabetes, heart disease
and cancer. We can expect that number to grow unless healthy changes
occur.

I hope youıll take a moment to join community leaders, teachers,
doctors, nurses, moms and dads across the country. Together, we will
work to help our kids eat better and lead active, healthy lives.
Thank you,
Michelle
First Lady Michelle Obama
The White House
