accessibility and affordable = better health

While it doesnt get talked about as much its very important to know that a healthy diet can lead to a ton of savings when it comes to health care. Obesity related medical costs run into the billions every year and its actually gonna get worse if we dont do anything about it. you combine that with the increases in insurance costs(if congress doesnt do something about that soon) its going to be a clusterbomb of fat,sick and broke people in the future. so with that said the first lady Michelle Obama discusses how she's trying to help make healthy food more accessible and affordable for the average American specifically the children. If everything works out it should make doing this a little easier for me and the kids of the future will be healthier than the kids of today. Watch the 20 minute long video of her below
