I loved hearing the reference to the First Lady’s push for healthy food for children (not to mention the fact she planted an organic garden at the White House!) These kinds of actions really do matter, and I have hope that the kids impacted by programs likes this will grow up into voters who expect/demand better health (in all its definitions) for themselves and others.
Kudos to First Lady, Michelle Obama. Let’s make sure she continues to have the opportunity to promote the health and well-being of everyone!
