This article discusses Michelle Obama's idea to take her campaign to reduce childhood obesity to a global audience. She plans to shape a message that is international and focuses on maternal and child health. She also expects to talk about fighting obesity overseas when she travels with President Obama.
To kick-off the campaign, Michelle Obama appeared on "The Today Show", "Live with Regis and Kelly", delivered a speech in Atlanta and introduced a public service announcement. She potentially reached more than 200 million viewers.
I'm glad to see that Michelle Obama is making an effort to help reduce obesity not just in the US, but also internationally. The US has been struggling with obesity and needs the support to do something about it. I hope that Michelle Obama will be inspirational to obese individuals and help them get their health on track.
Some people do not have the time, money, or the resources to exercise and eat a healthier diet. I'm curious to see if Michelle Obama will do anything to help people in these situations besides giving them a motivational speech.
Do you think this campaign will have a positive affect on international obesity?
