“We know that solving our obesity challenge won’t be easy and it won’t be quick, but make no mistake about it — this problem can be solved,” Mrs. Obama said.
This quote said by the First Lady, Mrs. Michelle Obama, explains that obesity can be cured; however, it is going to take a lot of effort on both ends. She also states that it is going to take a while before America can get a handle on it and finally control it. Mrs. Obama describes in this article that she is not trying to force America into any kind of health fad. She just wants today’s youth to have longer and healthier lives as they grow into their adult years. Starting routines young will overall improve a person’s life expectancy. We all can’t solely depend on pills and surgery to make this issue go away. It is going to take a lot of hard work to achieve this goal positively and correctly. Further down the road people will finally see the good behind the changes that we can make today.
