Childhood obesity is growing daily in the United States because children are consuming too much food and drinks that are high in calories and sugar. According the July report of the National Center for Health Statistics, the number of overweight children in the US is increasing. Fifteen percent of children ages 6 to 18 were overweight in 2000, up from 6% in 1980. Fifteen percent of youngsters ages 6 to 19 and 10 percent of children ages 2 through 5 were considered seriously overweight.
To address this present problem on obesity, First Lady Michelle Obama started her “Let’s Move” health program that intends to combat childhood obesity in the U.S. This program has four core plans: better nutrition information, increased physical activity, easier access to healthy foods and personal responsibility. Michelle Obama also encouraged food manufacturers to produce quality products that provide proper nutrition instead of producing junk foods and high-calorie snacks. She stated further that this health project requires not just the administration but also the congress, the governors, the mayors, the parents and the teachers to work together.
The First Lady says there is a lack of accessibility and affordability as there are many Americans who reside in “nutritional wastelands” found in urban and rural areas with no access to supermarkets. She considers lack of access to proper nutrition as one of the reasons why many children are not eating the recommended levels of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. But how could this happen, when there are numerous vending machines in schools and public places that are very accessible to everyone?
With this health care program, maybe it’s time that schools should replace those “junk food” vending machines with fresh healthy vending that provides a variety of high quality but affordable foods that are also rich with vitamins and minerals. If fresh vending Machines are made available in campuses and other public places, children will be provided with ONLY healthy food options. Having fresh healthy vending Machines around will solve the problem on lack of accessibility and affordability to buy nutritious foods, which is one of the main concerns in Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” health program.
