In Renata Green's blog about obesity, she opened it up with a bit of a story from her past. I really appreciated this as it gave a few laughs, some likelihoods to my own childhood, and an insight on a better way of eating. This opening gave a light-hearted attention grabber to her post, which is a very good technique to use.
She then moves on to the situation (and purpose) of the post. Obesity is being fought by a new bill (The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act) recently passed by the House of Representatives. The bill only needs President Obama's signature to be passed into the state of a law. All this information was easily understood and taken in from my perspective. She made it simple, stated what it was and how it happened. Keeping points clear and simple for readers is a very important thing to do while blogging.
Moving onto what the bill is going to do, she (again) made everything very clear and crisp. Explaining how the law will help fix how school lunches are run, vending machines in school areas, free lunches for poverty striken kids, and providing funding for creation of school run gardens as well as purchasing of locally grown produce.
This bill (to be a law) seems great and I am happy it's going to be (more than likely) passed soon. I would however like to stress the fact that it is mainly a parents responsibility for what their child eats. Just like Green stated in her opening, her parents did all they could to keep her away from "normal" (aka Junk) food.
