Michelle Obama vs Coca-Cola

US First Lady Michelle Obama called on the food industry to produce more healthful food for children in hopes that more healthy foods can lead to fewer cases of childhood obesity, according to Foodconsumer.org.

Obama spoke to hundreds of corporate representatives at a meeting of the Grocery Manufacturers Association in March 17 and called upon food giants like Coca Cola, General Mills and Kraft Foods to offer more healthy foods and market them to children.

"Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The prevalence of obesity among children aged 6 to 11 years increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008. The prevalence of obesity among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years increased from 5.0% to 18.1%," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states.
