More From Michelle Obama

In the 10 cities with the nation's highest obesity rates, the direct costs connected with obesity and obesity-related diseases are roughly $50 million per 100,000 residents. and if these 10 cities just cut their obesity rates down to the national average, all added up they combine to save nearly $500 million in healthcare costs each year.

Obesity now contributes to the death of more than 360,000 americans a year. the incidence of childhood obesity is now at epidemic levels. alarm bells are going off all over the place. but our government has done virtually nothing.

Fighting Epidemics Years
The aids disease is caused by a virus, but the aids epidemic is not. the aids epidemic is fueled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation, by ignorance, by indifference. science has accomplished miracles over the past 20 years, and science can now end this disease - but it cannot end the epidemic. we need more than medicine. we can do something about these things. we need to speak out about the changes we need to make in our society.
Hate Ignorance Past
I firmly believe that if you help a woman, then you educate a child, you help the family. because women are very focused on health care and education and on the family. so if you help a woman, you help the family, you help the village, you help the country. and so empowering women is a very important part of moving, not just women forward, but the economy of the nation forward. particularly in very substandard nations.

Mother Sibling Childhood
The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. the more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.

When you’re young, you don’t know that you’re poor, you just know whether or not you’re happy. and i was happy, and loved. my mom did whatever she has to do to get by, and the lesson i learned from my childhood was that it’s possible to pursue happiness, no matter where that pursuit may lead you.
Mom Childhood Lessons
When you reach a certain age, you have fulfilled your childhood dream and whatever your first or second adulthood led you to do. then you're in your third adulthood, the one that leads to the grave, and you ask yourself, "what will i do between now and then?" instead of thinking in terms of glamour, you start thinking in terms of reform - your contribution to the world.
