Michelle Obama to Food Makers (Politely): Stop Fattening Our Children

http://www.rodale.com/michelle-obama-speech-gma?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_03_17-_-Top5-_-NA Michelle Obama nails it! Food Manufacturers know they are good at targeting children to purchase their products. They know that a lot of the products they produce are high in calories, fat and sugar. If people continue to buy their product, what is their motivation for change?! Well, we are now giving them a reason to change. Very politely, the Food Makers were asked to look at what their products are doing to our children and not ‘buck the trend toward more healthful food’. It is time to not only stop marketing unhealthy food to children, but to start marketing more healthy options to children. It takes teamwork and ‘Team Food Manufacturers’ have their work cut out for them.
