We know that families play a uniquely important role in the work that we're all doing. And that's one of the things I want to focus on today—what all of us can do to better empower families who want to make healthy choices for their kids. Now, on one level, this seems pretty obvious. I mean, after all, our kids aren't the ones going to the supermarket or waking up early to make breakfast—at least not in my household. (Laughter.) And they certainly don't sign themselves up for ballet and basketball clinics at the Y. That's our job. More than anyone else, we as parents decide what our kids eat, and how active they are every single day." 2) Write a short counterclaim for the claim Michelle Obama is making in these remarks to the Grocery Manufacturers Association. So this isn't surprising when studies show that even a single commercial can impact a child's brand preferences—and that kids who see foods advertised on TV are significantly more likely to ask for them at the store. So whatever we believe about personal responsibility and self-determination, I think we can all agree that it doesn't apply to kids. I think we can all agree that parents need more control over the products and messages their kids are exposed to. Parents are working hard to provide a healthy diet and to teach healthy habits—and we'd like to know that our efforts won't be undermined every time our children turn on the TV or see a flashy display in a store.
