While listening to Haile’s story, I wonder if her family’s view on healthy eating shifted during the 42nd presidential administration. Considering Michelle Obama pushes for healthy eating/active lifestyles in both pop-culture and schools, I think the young people were more influenced than we realize.
Thanks for having such a quality guest!
Hi Samantha – thanks for tuning in and sharing! That’s a great question. I know Michelle Obama did such great work with her Let’s Move campaign and so happy to see that young people were influenced by that. It’s so important 🙂
