Nutrition in Schools

The video is about First Lady Michelle Obama kicking off Lets Move. Lets Move is a program designed to tackle childhood obesity by encouraging exercise and healthy eating. The First Lady is joined by Cabinet members, athletes, educators, students and others at the kickoff event.
I believe obesity is becoming something that needs to be addressed by teachers. Students in their early ages are being exposed to unhealthy eating habits. Most students are uneducated about their eating habits and therefore I think it would be a god idea for teachers to step in. Teachers are people students look up to and therefore would take into consideration what he or she says. As a caretaker of his or her students, I believe that the student’s lifestyles should be addresses. Just as if another person or the child was causing harm to him or herself would be unacceptable, so should the food that enters their body that may be harmful.
