Are Obama kids eating healthy? Here I am, back again, writing about one of favorite topics; the Obamas. Only, this time, it is going to be more about Malia and Sasha, and of course their mother Michelle. Ever since, Obama has been sworn in as the President, Michelle Obama has become the beacon of hope, in terms of fighting childhood obesity. She is awesome or what! America needs an Iron Lady like Michelle Obama, because, America's expanding waistline is no longer a secret. Maybe it never was. With such a health and diet conscious mother, the Obama kids eating healthy wouldn't really be an issue here, or will it?

Michelle Obama believes that(and God knows that she is right), the children ape whatever the parents do. When I was kid, I totally did. If the parents are obese and have unhealthy eating habits, their children are most likely to be the same and do the same. Obama kids eating healthy is the number one priority of their mother, quite obviously. The Obamas have made small and significant changes on their dining table. Michelle has ensured that they cut down on processed food and include more fruits and vegetables to their table. She has also ensured that her kids drink plenty of water. But, this does not mean that her children are sworn off ice creams and French fries. These are served only as special treats. Ahem! Now, Michelle Obama also stressed that it is important for parents to teach their kids on how to make healthy snacks when they reach an age where they try to be fiercely independent. With such a determined mother, the Obama kids eating healthy foods is more or less a sure thing.

The Obama kids' diet is not just about eating right, it is also about being actively involved in fun exercises. After all, you don't stand a chance in beating Mrs.O in a hula hoop challenge, do you? With the Obama kids' diet, the First Lady is trying her best to set an example for the fat America. Pun intended here. To top it all, the Sidwell Friends School to which the First Daughters go, also serves healthy meals in their cafeteria for all the kids there. Their Thursday menu is really good. Trust me.

However, I'm not going to sit here and paint a pretty picture with fancy words about the Obama kids' diet. They do have a health and diet conscious mother who is trying to do her best to feed them right. This does put a lot of pressure on the kids. As the girls hit puberty, I can bet that their diets will go through further scrutiny in the eyes of the public. They are the First Daughters but they are regular kids. We mustn't forget that. Obama kids eating healthy food all the time... well, let's allow them to slack every now and then. So, if we see them munching a burger or slurping down an ice cream in  future; let's not pounce on them with our criticism.

Shalom!
