Consider michelle obama's comment in a speech at the pha building a healthier future summit: "we're skipping the gym so that we can drive the kids to school in the morning. we're eating fast food at lunch so that we have time afterwards to go to the store and pick up something decent for dinner. we are working so hard to keep our kids healthy that we're neglecting ourselves." which of these statements would provide a possible rebuttal to this statement? "but we also know that at the end of the day, when it comes to the health of our kids, no one has a greater impact than each of us do as parents" "but as it turns out, one of the most important things we can do for our children's health is to take care of our own health—and to make being healthy truly a family affair." "but while we know we must make it easier for parents to access healthier foods, we also know that, at the end of the day, our kids actually need to eat that food." "but we will solve this problem with a constant stream of efforts that continuously make real and meaningful change."
