Richard Simmons Our Fitness Advocate

Richard Simmons, Fitness Expert and Advocate, testified before the Committee on Education and Labor at a hearing concerning childhood obesity and physical health and education on July 24, 2008.

This is slightly off topic but important enough for me to post. I have written before about obesity , and obesity in children and what a huge and painful problem this is.

I always found him kind of amusing but there is no doubt that he is sincere in his devotion to this cause, and since obesity is the plague of the 21st century It would be wise for someone to take this on as seriously as others take on the financial situation and the political one.

Thank you workout mommy for bringing this to my attention.
