First Lady Michelle Obama has unveiled her plan to fight childhood obesity. Government-mandated physical fitness and nutritional standards are interesting concepts, but the Obamas shouldn't take credit for coming up with the ideas.
Imagine how thin we would all be if we were forced to get our food the way this guy does!
What's your point? After the Depression and WWII, a very large percentage of recruits during the Korean War era were malnourished and unhealthy--developing programs to correct that led to school lunches and eventually to the war on poverty. I don't think the Obamas are "taking credit," just trying to implement some action.

Apparently there is something I'm not seeing in your post--a big blank space between the top and the picture at the bottom. I'll try again on my own computer later.
