“In Obama’s letter, she explained that new child nutrition regulations were implemented as part of her “Let’s Move!” initiative started in 2010 to reduce childhood obesity,” the Times-Picayune reported. “The new regulations took effect in 2012 with the goal of including more whole grains, vegetables and fruits in school meals while reducing fat and sodium.”
“She explained that she wants students nationwide to have access to healthy food in their daily lunch meals,” the report said. “She also acknowledged that adjusting to new things can be difficult and thanked Trip for his feedback.”
Trip’s mother, Katie, said that Trip was “excited” to get a response from Mrs. Obama, and is now willing to stomach the bad tacos.
