The number of overweight kids has tripled in the last 30 years, and an alarming number of American children have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. We must take action! Pass on cooking to your kids. Teach your children a few simple recipes for survival in case they have to survive on their own. It is up to us to teach our children, schools, and to put preassure on business to teach change in our country when it comes to food. We need to support Mrs. Obama at what she is trying to do; improved school nutrition, better labeling of high-calorie foods and drinks, support for farmers’ markets, and a coordinated education campaign to help moms and dads instill good eating habits.
