Momentous Occasion

Michelle Obama has decided to take on childhood obesity.

I'm not really infatuated with Michelle.  I think that she has a mean streak about her and gets a bit preachy and judgemental for my taste.  And she doesn't seem like too deep a thinker.

But, this is actually a momentous occasion.

One in three American children are overweight or obese.  Just a few generations ago, the crisis was childhood starvation and infantile death rates.  Now the crisis is the problems that too much food causes.

Talk about a pendulum swing.

Seems ironic that our first African American First Lady would have fat kids as her first priority.   I guess that statement is a huge move forward in a couple of ways.
