First Ladies do have a lot of influence. They can use that to make an impact on laws and policies. For example, First Lady Michelle Obama's big push is to fight childhood obesity 1. One of her goals is for Congress to pass a new child nutrition law. We're talking about the school lunch program. It hasn't been updated in about five years. This new bill, the first lady is pushing for, would offer money to poor districts to help pay for free meals and it would require healthier foods in school programs. And it doesn't look like this thing's gonna become law anytime soon. You see, the money for these new programs would come from the Food Stamp Program and some Democrats 2 think that should be off limits. One Congressman 3 said quote, we are not going to tolerate robbing the poor to pay for every piece of legislation 4.
We've been talking this week about how healthy eating means making choices. You guys can make those decisions for yourselves or talk to your parents about making them. The kids who are younger you, maybe your little brothers, little sisters, might not know about choosing healthy foods yet. They might just want whatever meal has a toy with it. That's why some California officials are considering a ban on including toys with some fast food meals. David Stevenson of affiliate 5 KTVU serves up the details.
