Sarah Palin bashes "Lets Move" Initiative

Sarah Palin lately has been taking a stand against Michelle Obama's "Lets Move" inititive to reduce childhood obesity through exercise and healthy diet. I think Sarah Palin should take a few moments away from watching dancing with the stars and skinning moose to maybe research the obesity rate in the U.S. Today in the U.S., one in three children are obese, and one third of all children will develop diabetes in their lifetime. I think this may be one of those occassions where Palin should perhaps keep her own opinion (however humorous) to herself for the sake of all those children that this initiative could help. Even looking at this initiative from a purely fiscal standpoint, it would be hugely beneficial for our country. America pays $147 billion a year directly from obesity related medical costs, and every person with health insurance pays for these expenses. If people in our country had the information available to teach them how to take better care of their bodies, maybe we could spend less on diabetes medication and more on keeping our country safe, employed, and educated. Even if Palin doesn't see the financial merit of this program, maybe she could show some respect for it considering all the children's whose quality of life could be improved by it.
