Bush Urges Parents to Get Kids Outdoors - President Bush said Thursday that childhood obesity is a costly problem for the country and puts stress on American families.
"One way for this nation to cope with the issue of obesity is to get people outside _ whether it be through sports or hiking or conservation," Bush said while meeting with business leaders working to encourage exercise and healthy food choices through advertising.
He said first lady Laura Bush was on her way to New York to kick off Friday's "Wear Red Day" for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Red Dress Project to increase awareness that women are at risk for heart disease. Bush signed a proclamation making February American Heart Month.
"Mothers are the ones, a lot of times, who make choices for their children," the first lady said.
