        There are so many news stories worthy of discussion, but this imparticular caught my attention because I am so pleased to hear it. In a discussion with the First Lady Michelle Obama on the development of the "Let's Move Campaign's" progress, a great step forward was mentioned.
        They are going to partner with Wal-Mart to make healthier food more affordable. Healthier food will now be more comparable in price with less healthy food choices. I think this is wonderful, for so long I have thought it would be much easier for people to make better food choices if they were more affordable. I'm sure their must be a lot of people who would love to feed themselves and their families healthier food if it was a option for them and their budget. It also mentions that some critics argue that the government shouldn't be telling us what or how to eat. It's not like they're going to shove the food down our throats, bad or good.
        In the end it is our personal decision what we put in our bodies. It is a fact about the seriousness of obesity and I think it is great that the government help with guidance on healthier food options and above all make them more affordable. Now if we could just get P.E back everyday in elementary school.
