Former First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of a healthy food and beverage company she co-founded that is targeted at fighting childhood obesity.
The former first lady spearheaded the Let’s Move campaign, a program aimed at ending childhood obesity, during her time at the White House. She announced her latest venture at the Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything Festival on Wednesday, May 3.
"We're hoping not to just provide healthy and delicious drinks and snacks for kids, but to jumpstart a race to the top that will transform the entire food industry," Obama wrote in a PLEZi Nutrition press release announcing the launch. "Because let's face it, even after everything we accomplished during the White House years, it is still simply too hard for kids to grow up healthy."
While Obama is PLEZi Nutrition’s co-founder and strategic partner, the company is led by a team of public health, nutrition, and parenting specialists.
PLEZi Nutrition is rolling out its first product, a fruit juice for kids, in four flavors containing 75% less sugar than average leading 100% fruit juices.

Why do you believe any of those ingredients to be “terrible”?

There's something of a fad for "cloudy" looking beverages. A bit of zinc oxide, a white pigment, will do that. Zinc is also a necessary trace nutrient.
Just convince the kids they are skinny. If anyone says they are obese ..call them fataphobes.
Mike is a transformer, after all.
Like “book” sales...just another money laundering scheme.
symbolic of the government itself. They should have to go 100% [fill in the blank] before demanding the surfs have to.
Just re=package BudLite.
Our choice for dinner was *Take it or leave it.*
You don't want it or like it? Go hungry.
The only time I gave my kids a choice for dinner was on their birthday. Then we would have for their birthday dinner whatever they wanted.
Fruit juice is hardly any better than soda.
What does Moosechelle have against fat people? Obesity is now “in”.
She’s going to convince this generation to go low carb?
I’ll sit back and watch.
that sounds worse then V8 juice or cranberry juice
we got fed meatloaf, chicken, pork with veggies and a salad for dinner, tuna for lunch, and cereal for breakfast oatmeal too.
and get your butt out of the house, ride bikes all day, or swam in the pool in summer. no sitting in front of TV all day
100% fruit juice is bad?
Most is no better as the sugar content is way higher than need be.
Probably tomato juice and rune juice are OK, but for apple juice, for example, how many apples worth of sugar are you drinking?
And could you eat that many apples in that short a time? And there’s no fiber or other nutrients to go with it to slow sugar absorption.
