Michelle Obama On Food, Health, Nutrition

by tristero

Don't be misled, either by the occasion - an address at the White House to fifth graders - or the charm of the person speaking. Michelle Obama has just launched a major campaign for healthy eating, a campaign that will rile deeply moneyed vested interests.

Great stuff. And considering the detailed content of the speech, those are mighty smart fifth graders!
