Michelle Obama Speaks about Obesity and Breast-Feeding

Friday, October 22, 2010

Michelle Obama is a lady of her word. She is very dedicated and outwardly speaks of obesity, especially in black woman. In as recently as October 2010, she spoke before the Congressional Black Caucus, First Lady Michelle Obama said childhood obesity had become a national epidemic and was particularly bad in black communities. the first lady said that another way to fight obesity was to promote breast-feeding. She noted that especially in black communities where, she said, 40% of children never receive the health benefits of breast-feeding. But even with the help, women must be educated on the subject, especially when it comes to how how to increase breast milk production. It is important that a woman who attempts to breast feed understand the proper way. As with most other things as the Obama administration is finding out, there is a right way, and there is a wrong way to do things. Sometimes things are done by trial and error, but when it comes to your child and breat feeding, it is especially important to know what you are doing.

Last February, almost a year ago, I wrote a letter to Ms. Obama regarding breastfeeding as a tool in her anti-obesity movement and, additionally, as the best gift a mother can give to her baby - and to herself as well.
To my deep disappointment I never received any response from Ms. Obama's office, other than having my email added to a bunch of news feeds from the White House.
I fail to understand the reason to Ms. Obama's failure to address the very obvious benefits of breastfeeding. I do hope the baby food industry's big pockets have nothing to do with this.
(And just in case of any doubt, I have been an enthusiastic supporter of President Obama for many years.
thanks - drora kemp.
