Childhood Obesity Is Best Tackled At Home

I Was On The San Diego School Board For 4 Years, Where I Watched Children Successfully Matriculate Into Elementary Schools From Head Start Programs From All Around Our City.

However, As A Parent, As A Grandparent, As A Former Educator, I Know That These Practices Alone When We Are Dealing With Young Children Are Insufficient. We Will Never Control This Rising Epidemic Without Greater Accountability From The Food Industry.

Congress Is Headed In The Wrong Direction With This Bill Which Removes Any And All Incentives From The Food Industry To Improve Their Products For Children.

We Have Seen That, In Another Unfunded Mandate, The So-called No Child Left Behind Act, Which Created Tougher Standards, And We All Support That, But Congress Did Not Provide The Money To Attract And Hire The Best Teachers.

I’m A Congressman, And Can Do Whatever I Want
