05/08/07 Clinton's Obesity Agenda

The man seems to be everywhere! How does he do it! One minute he is making appearances at his wife's political campaigns, the next he is golfing with past presidents or globe trotting for some social causes. Former President Clinton's most recent stint was appearing on a cooking show. He surprised the studio audience by taping a segment on the Rachael Ray's daytime syndicated program. . It wasn't a passion for cooking that found him sharing center stage with Rachel, (although he admits to one), it was an opportunity to announce a recently formed partnership between the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation to fight childhood obesity. Deemed the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, the main objective is to stop the increase in childhood obesity by 2010 and inspire young people towards healthier habits, through school programs that include revamping vending machines, teacher education and more exercise . Governor Mike Huckabee who, like Clinton, has faced his share of obesity demons will help the former president champion this cause.
