Our First Lady has made it a goal of hers while in office to make major headway in childrens’ obesity. The Food and Drug Administration will start to make sure food companies create customer friendly labels along with beverage companies adding calorie information on the front of their products. The American Academy of Pediatrics asked doctors to begin watching over their younger patient’s body mass index.
The Washington Post reports that $10 billion will be spent over the next 10 years giving schools more money for healthier food, this is being encouraged by the Obama Administration. A proposition of $400 million dollars in tax breaks is being proposed to motivate grocery stores to move all their foods with little nutrition to separate areas of the store. An effort to educate and encourage children that exercising an hour per day is beneficial to their health is in place as well.
Let’s Move, a website with shopping tips, finding recipes and other healthful resources has also been revealed to the public.
