Let's Move

Michelle Obama has started a campaign called, "Let's Move". It's basically a program where the government comes in and tells everyone how to eat and spend tax payer money to do it. Yes, it makes me mad. I don't understand why this is a good use of tax dollars.

Do parents really need to be told that their children shouldn't eat alot of fast food by the government?

Do parents need to be told to make sure their children get exercise by the government?

Do parents need to be told how to shop by the government?

Do we really need to spend $10 billion over the next decade to update the Childhood Nutrition Act?

Do we need $400 million a year for a “Healthy Food Financing Initiative” which will bring grocery stores to low-income neighborhoods and help places like convenience stores carry healthier food options?

Michelle Obama said in an interview, “This isn’t like a disease where we’re still waiting for a cure to be discovered – we know the cure for this.” (Speaking about obesity.)
*If we know what the cure is, then why is this even an issue? Why spend more money the U.S. doesn't have on obesity programs, new initiatives, and school programs?

The First Lady admits, in the video below, her mistakes with her families eating habits. The pediatrician pointed it out, and she fixed it. SHE did it herself, the government did not help her. The government had no involvement whatsoever. So why is it that the government needs to step up and help everyone else?
