Everything the Obama's do is for show or votes. There is nothing genuine about them.
totally incorrect. I was recently looking for something about the upcoming movie "The Life of Pi" [which I highly recommend to everyone - excellent story] and found that the author Yann Martel had received a note from President Obama. Just a simple note, saying he & his daughters had just finished reading the book together, and they enjoyed it very much. Did the so called mainstream news mention it? Did Obama's people 'leak' it, for the publicity? Not that I know of - it was just simply what a good parent would do. I know, because I've done it too: reading books with my girls, and sending a personal thanks to the author of the ones we loved. Because teaching our kids to appreciate and say 'thank you' is good parenting. As is knowing what they're reading by reading it too, but I'm fortunate in that I like to read, so that part's easy, lol.
Besides, kids being overweight is more of a function of lazy rather than poor eating habits.
Again, you are 100% wrong.
When I was young I ate BAD. Someday's I ate two Whopper's, a couple of shakes and several orders of fries, at a single meal. I had TROUBLE keeping my weight UP! I went in the Army weighing only 125LBS at almost 5'!!". Man I surely miss those days! I could eat ANYTHING in ANY amount and never gain an ounce.
Diet is important. Exercise is important. Metabolism is important. Hormones are important. We can control the first two, but not the last, and assuming fat = lazy in every case is just adding insult to injury. The fat kids get insulted enough by their peers, without uninformed adults piling on.
