First lady to governors: 'Let's act' on obesity

First lady Michelle Obama appealed to governors on Saturday for help in reducing child obesity and said they had a moral and financial imperative to act.

She praised states for their steps already and assured state leaders that the federal government had no interest in taking over their efforts.

"Let's stop wringing our hands and talking about it and citing statistics," she told governors at their winter meeting. "Let's act. Let's move. Let's give our kids the future they deserve."

"a moral and financial imperative to act."

They do, really?

What about curing cancer, diabetes, and a myriad of other life-threatening diseases?

It's far easier to get people to lose weight than it is to cure cancer.

Plus, a healthier lifestyle allows an individual to attain better protection against far more life threatening disorders than those who aren't. Which inclues diabetes and to a minor extent some forms of cancer.

Largest cause of death in the US: Heart disease. A fundamentally weight related disorder. Decrease the populations weight, that figure goes down and your medical system won't have to pay so much administering treatment.

Sure it is. :tongue:

Alcohol deaths top heart disease.

So, I guess alcohol will be banned soon.

Er... obesity and diet are linked to cancer and diabetes rates. Prevention (before the fact) is always preferable to curing/correction (after the fact).

They don't want to cure anything.

They make too much money on drugs.

Doctors are supposed to give people medicine that cures, not drugs that do nothing.

He's panicking right now because he thinks the government is going to knock down his door to take away his junk food. As we speak he is constructing a niche under the floorboards to hide his oreos and cheetos.
