In the early 1990s, fried foods, carbohydrates and desserts dominated Marybelle's high school lunch choices. Vending machines lined the school hallways, offering sugary drinks and unhealthy snacks. With limited healthy options, Marybelle unsurprisingly developed habits that led to high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Today, it's a different story for her son, Bobby, who's in the seventh grade, and his generation. Bobby started an afternoon fitness club at his middle school and volunteers in his school garden. The school's food service director ensures that students are served fresh fruits and vegetables. Bobby has motivated his mom to give up soda, and together they take morning walks around the neighborhood. "No excuses, Mom!" he says when she insists there's not enough time.
That's why the Clinton Foundation partnered with the American Heart Association to launch the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Driven by a shared desire for the next generation to have a healthier relationship with food and fitness, our core philosophy has been to bring everyone to the table -- schools, companies, communities, health care professionals and families -- to empower children to develop lifelong healthy habits.
The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is launching the #Commit2Ten campaign to ask everyone -- not just children, but all of us -- to add an additional 10 minutes of physical activity to our day. Take an evening walk with your kids, try a new exercise at the gym, walk with a colleague to lunch, or park a little farther away than you need to. The extra activity may seem small, but the consequences are enormous.
We owe it to the next generation to stop making excuses. Let's join together by moving more and building a healthier generation.

I was expecting the POS to suggest kindergarten orgies.
I thought BJ, the pervert was going to suggest lowering the age of consent.

Contract a series of social diseases until your body is in such bad shape your doctors put you on a strict vegan diet?
Bill: “I fight obesity by having sex with a different woman each week. The stress and anxiety did give me 2 heart attacks, and has made me a public scandal, but hey, i get lots of pussy and Hillary gets fatter. What could go wrong?”
