Sarah Palin is (Half) Right about Obesity Policy
Obesity prevention was a major part of President Obama’s vision during his election campaign:
“Childhood obesity is nearly epidemic, particularly among minority populations, and school systems can play an important role in tackling this issue.”
On this observation, most politicians agree. But there is a line beyond which a conservative-minded, limited-government philosophy will not cross. Mrs. Palin paid homage to this sentiment – with protestations against a “nanny state gone amok” – in her recent criticism of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative, which aims to spur children toward healthier eating and living.
