Last night, the President gave his State of the Union address to members of Congress and the general citizenry to report that our nation is moving in the right direction. President Obama also charted a plan for our country moving forward when it concerns foreign policy, the home crisis, unemployment, and higher education. But today we want to address what the President didn't mention in his speech to the union. We want to discuss our nation's biggest health concern: obesity. We are offering its own barometer for measuring progress -- the second annual report called the “Weight of the Union.”

These days, it seems that everyone has an answer as to why childhood obesity is running rampant in our country. One member of the New York City Department of Health has her own idea. She is claiming that the school’s free breakfast program is to blame.
