On the recordDecember 1, 2010
I especially want to acknowledge the exceptional leadership of First Lady Michelle Obama for recognizing a tremendous need in our country for proper nutrition for our children, children who have issues of having the proper nutrition, having issues about being susceptible to diabetes. I feel very proud that toward the end of this Congress, I have an opportunity to come to speak for those children as well. I come as a mother and as a grandmother. I come as one whose children and grandchildren every day pray for the one in five children in America who lives in poverty. Many of those children go to sleep hungry at night. How could that be in this, the greatest country in the world.
