Reform begins at home: Michelle Obama puts daughters on a diet as she
launches anti-obesity campaign

Michelle Obama started a campaign to tackle childhood obesity in the
U.S. on a personal vein - with an admission that her own daughters
were becoming overweight before a diet nipped the problem in the bud.

The First Lady said that she had been warned by the family
paediatrician that 'something was getting out of balance' with her two
children Malia 11, and Sasha, 8.

'In my eyes I thought my children were perfect - I didn’t see the
changes,' Mrs Obama said at an event organised by US health officials.

Slim look: The Obama girls, Malia, right, and Sasha, were 'becoming
overweight' before Michelle, centre right, imposed a diet to solve the
problem

The girls then had to adhere to new ground rules - less burgers, low-
fat milk, and fruits and water instead of sugary drinks; the change
was significant, she said.

Mrs Obama was accompanied by Regina Benjamin, whose choice as US
Surgeon General sparked nationwide debate about the appropriateness -
or lack of it - of having an overweight person heading the country's
health department.

Ms Benjamin also invoked her own struggles with weight gain to enforce
their message.
The pair then unveiled the White House vegetable garden, taken care of
by local schoolchildren in a bid to promote healthier eating.

U.S. president Barack Obama has also in the past publicly voiced
concerns about the habits of their children, saying that Malia had
become 'a little chubby'.

Concerns over obesity has been growing in the U.S. where two thirds of
adults and one in three children are overweight or obese, according to
experts.

Green campaigner: Michelle Obama harvests vegetables from the garden
with children from local schools

Kathleen Sebelius, US Health and Human Services Secretary, told
yesterday’s launch that the US spends nearly $150 billion (£94
billion) a year fighting obesity - more than it spends on cancer and
twice as much as it spent on obesity in 1998.

The campaign was launched to deter this problem, and the announcement
that Michelle would head it was met with a standing ovation from
congressmen and senators.
