In the beginning of May, Donald Trump’s Agriculture secretary Sonny Perdue announced that his department would be rolling back the nutrition regulations that had been put into place during the Obama administration as part of an initiative headed by First Lady Michelle Obama. It was pretty unconscionable to say the least. Michelle Obama has championed healthier eating habits for all of our children, rich and poor, and part of the nutritional regulations that were pulled back included seemingly obvious things like lowering the amount of sodium allowed in school meals, as well as upping the level of grains served to children. The former First Lady was being interviewed onstage at an annual health conference in Washington, and was asked about Trump’s decision to do away with these healthier guidelines.
Why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? Moms, think about this: Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap? Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly by and be okay with that?
Because here's the secret, if somebody is doing that, they don't care about your kid. And we need to demand that people care deeply about our kids.
Let’s think about the kids … for just a minute. Michelle Obama hits the stage around the 1:17:00 mark.
