This Week's Nutrition and Health News

Here are some of my favorite nutrition and health articles from this week;

First Lady Teams Up With Grocers Nationwide
(Ok, so let's say Obama is not longer president after 2012, I'm praying that Michelle Obama will continue her quest to help combat obesity! She's doing some amazing things for this country.)

Milk Campaign Ended Amid Social Media Firestorm
(Some people are just so sensitive. I do believe milk is great for PMS prevention, actually. Or any milk alternative with 20-30% vitamin D and calcium. It really does work. For even more help, add a magnesium supplement.)
