I appreciate both of their approaches. The problem will never be "solved". We can, however, shine the spotlight on it for the sake of educating the public. Michelle Obama does this eloquently and in the style of Alice Waters, goes to the garden. If education were the only issue, there would be hope. Instead, there is a major problem with the food supply - the availability and the cost of real food vs. processed food. That is a political battle. For now, we can now only try our best to bring our children up with real food - lots of fruits and vegetables and very little sugar. Good luck with that.

Mayor Bloomberg is a a wonderful mayor for NYC. When he banned cigarettes I was appalled but looking back he was right. Now he's gone a little too far. The FIrst Lady had a wonderful approach by teaching us all good nutrition through gardening. Her new book looks absolutely lovely and I'm tempted to go on Amazon right now.
