First Lady Michelle Obama visited North Point Community Church in Alpharetta on Wednesday, February 9th as part of the celebration anniversary event for Let's Move! Pastor and host Andy Stanley introduced Mrs. Obama and reinforced the efforts of parents around the nation to work for a better and healthier future for our kids, "As our children's health goes, so goes our nation".
"Lets Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady, dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams. Combining comprehensive strategies with common sense, Let's Move! is about putting children on the path to a healthy future during their earliest months and years. Giving parents helpful information and fostering environments that support healthy choices. Providing healthier foods in our schools. Ensuring that every family has access to healthy, affordable food. And, helping kids become more physically active." - Let's Move! website
Mrs. Obama congratulated the attendees of the event for their part in the success of this program so far, "Change has come because you have asked for it". She emphasized the highlights of the past year:
- The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a groundbreaking piece of legislation, was signed into law so all kids have healthier food in school and even more have access to a healthy lunch.
- Three of the largest food service providers have committed to improving the food they provide to schools to meet recommended levels of fat, sugar and whole grains over the next five years, and to double the fruits and vegetables they serve over the next 10 years.
- A coalition of the Fruit and Vegetable Alliance, the Food, Family and Farming Foundation and the United Fresh Produce Association has committed over the next three years to put 6,000 salad bars in schools across the country, making fresh vegetables a more accessible choice for children.
- Nearly 2,000 chefs have volunteered to help schools in their community become healthier through the Chefs Move to Schools program which pairs professional chefs with schools to help educate kids about making healthy food choices and engages the entire school community to help create healthier school menus.
- Businesses are stepping up to help schools meet their challenges, like All-Clad, which has donated 1,000 demonstration cooking kits for chefs who are participating in Chefs Move to Schools.
"One of every 3 kids is still obese", Mrs. Obama explained that our job is not done. And she also talked about the emotional side of obesity and how it can make a difference to your physical well-being. A fat reducing overview can help you produce a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to achieve your fat burning objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more advance stage of their weight loss program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss courses have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to reduce more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. "We need to change things on the inside as well as the outside".
Mrs. Obama is a gracious and well-spoken leader to take on this challenge of childhood obesity, which affects so many of us. Visit Let's Move! website to find out how you can become involved in your community, your schools, your churches. It's up to us as parents to set the example for our kids and we need to ask ourselves, just like Mrs. Obama did, "What Can I Do?"
