“This is the first time we’ve seen any indication of any significant decrease in any group,” said Cynthia Ogden, a researcher for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the lead author of the report.
And, of course, none of the reductions in childhood obesity (as minimal as they appear to be) would be possible if it were not for Michelle Obama’s tireless effort to tell people how to feed their kids.
The knee pad media couldn’t wait to shower the anti-carb queen in praise.
This is, “Why Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ matters,” proclaimed MSNBC. “Michelle Obama Is Helping Defeat Obesity,” reads a headline from US News and World Reports.
Interestingly enough, a USDA study conducted around the same time period as the CDC’s latest study found that, “15.9 million children lived in food insecure households in 2012,” and that, “20% or more of the child population in 37 states and D.C. lived in food insecure households.”So is America’s starving children pulling down the averages of all the fatter kids?
