Michelle Obama has just started a campaign

against childhood obesity (肥胖) with the admission

that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet

because they were getting fat. Clearly, childhood

obesity must be solved and urgently. But is it a

good idea for mothers to put their daughters on

diets?

Studies show that the more children diet, the more likely they are to become obese asadults. Research also shows that girls are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes toeating habits and body image.

This was the case for Carly, 40, who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle withweight. " My mother was on a diet the whole time I was growing up," she says. " And she putme on my first diet when I was 10.1 lost puppy fat, gained her approval and never ate normallyagain. "

America's First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey. But could thisbe damaging for Malia and Sasha? Could they develop eating disorders because of it?

"It's wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters' eating disorders," says SusanRingwood, chief executive of the eating disorders charity. Beat. "There is a genetic (基因的))component to eating disorders. " However, "We do know that parents have a very strong influ-ence over a child's eating. It's important to realize that you are your daughter's role model. Girlsidolize their mothers. " says Ringwood.

" No food should ever be ' good' or ' bad' ," Ringwood says. Instead," You have to makeit clear that food is a sociable, healthy and fun part of life, not something to be feared. "

"Talk to her about body image," Ringwood says. "Talk about how curves are an importantand exciting part of being a woman. Show her that anorexic (厌食的)) fashion models are notsexy,but ill. The pressure on girls today is immense," she says. "But don't forget that you arethe authoritative voice, too. "

Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million　 Michigan residents older than 16: They read below a sixth-grade level, which makes it difficult to　 find jobs and to improve their lives. Among them, Amiya is one.

Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school. She handed　 her diploma to her mother, who read it to her. "Then when someone asked me to read it, I could remember the things she read, and I knew what I had to say," recalled Amiya Olden. " When

we would go out to restaurants with my aunts, and that's when I really would get upset. I would

see words on the menu but I couldn't read!"

Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library, where she checks out books and reads them. She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job.

And she has advice for others, who have trouble reading.

"Don't give up on it," she said. "Even though it can be challenging and you might getfrustrated sometimes, practice does help. If you really want to be able to go somewhere, go out toa restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that, you want to know what you want toeat and where you want to go. ..
