Who is the latest to jump on the diet bandwagon? Michelle Obama. Only she isn't doing it for herself, it's for her kids. Normally I am quite a fan of Michelle, but this, if true, takes the cake.
Children nowadays have too many body issues already, do they need more? The Obama kids are beautiful and entering a stage of life where a little body fat is necessary for the development of estrogen. It is actually healthy.
Now I understand a mother saying to her kids,"Lets eat a little bit healthier, lets have more veggies and fruit and less of the cheeseburgers and fries". But the word "diet" conjures up body image issues which just should not be the problem of normal sized children. I agree wit the television host who recently said,"The word "diet" shouldn't be used until you are at least 35, because by then you should know that diets don't work, only lifestyle changes keep weight off."
