阅读理解。 Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity (肥胖) with the admission that she

put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they

were getting fat. Clearly, childhood obesity must be

solved and urgently. But is it a good idea for mothers

to put their daughters on diets？

Studies show that the more children diet, the more

likely they are to become obese as adults. Research

also shows that girls are highly influenced by their

mothers when it comes to eating habits and body

image.

This was the case for Carly, 40, who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight. "My mother

was on a diet the whole time I was growing up," she says. "And she put me on my first diet when I was 10.

I lost puppy fat, gained her approval and never ate normally again."

America"s First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey. But could this be damaging for

Malia and Sasha？ Could they develop eating disorders because of it？

"It"s wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters" eating disorders," says Susan Ringwood, chief

executive of the eating disorders charity, Beat. "There is a genetic (基因的) component to eating disorders."

However, "We do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child"s eating. It"s important to realize

that you are your daughter"s role model. Girls idolize their mothers." says Ringwood.

"No food should ever be "good" or "bad"," Ringwood says: Instead, "You have to make it clear that food is

a sociable, healthy and fun part of life, not something to be feared."

"Talk to her about body image," Ringwood says. "Talk about how curves are an important and exciting

part of being a woman. Show her that anorexic (厌食的) fashion models are not sexy, but ill. The pressure

on girls today is immense," she says. "But don"t forget that you are the authoritative voice, too." 1. Michelle Obama has started a campaign to _____. [ ]A. solve childhood obesity across the country
