Michelle Obama Takes on Childhood Obesity

             First Lady, Michelle Obama launched a campaign concerning childhood obesity and getting kids to eat healthier. She says her goal is to put America on track to solve the childhood obesity problem in a generation, but blames busy lazy parents, cafeteria foods competing against vending machines at schools, food companies that promote fatty sacks, poor neighborhoods, and the screens. In order for her to succeed, she believes she needs to gather cabinet members, mayors, schools, advertisements, entertainment figures, and business leaders to get the point across and have a successful campaign. I strongly disagree that this campaign will ever be successful. There are many reasons why her campaign hasn't been successful at all being a couple of years having launched a campaign that could have potential with the right lead in direction.
             Michelle Obama's campaign on childhood obesity has potential. It's something that could work if in the right hands, but why isn't it working? According to Ferguson, "The First lady wants to be a role model but a role model has to live up to what they are preaching and Michelle does not do that." Michelle has spent a vast amount of time trying to get this whole generation to eat healthier and exercise, yet she's biting her own tongue and has only been counterproductive.
             Michelle Obama points fingers towards certain subjects that leave at least 1/3 of children obese. She blames parents for buying fast food for dinner on a daily basis rather than a well-balanced dinner , Vending machines filled with fatty snacks vs. not so satisfying cafeteria foods, food companies that promote fatty snacks, poor neighborhoods that can't afford healthy foods, and "the screens". Therefore, I agree with the points she's given to prove that leave a part of children obese, but I honestly think that by now eating healthy would have been strongly enforced.
