1) Paraphrase the claim Michelle Obama is making in these remarks
from the PHA Building a Healthier Future Summit:
"But we also know that at the end of the day, when it comes to the
health of our kids, no one has a greater impact than each of us do as
parents. 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.
