First lady Michelle Obama cooks up next healthful plan
Next up for “Let’s Move!”? How about “Let’s Cook.”
Michelle Obama said Friday that a new focus of her anti-childhood obesity effort will be to help people cook more of their meals at home because they’re healthier.
Addressing a health summit in Washington, the first lady said home-cooked meals have less fat, sodium, cholesterol and calories than meals prepared in restaurants, and save money, too.
She said too many people think they don’t have the time or the skills to cook for themselves but that plenty of meals can be pulled together in less than 30 minutes for cheaper than takeout.
The first lady began focusing on the nation’s childhood obesity problem as soon as she got to the White House in 2009. She pledged Friday to stick with the issue long after she’s gone.
Brown arrested after rehab lapse
Chris Brown was arrested Friday and will be held without bail in Los Angeles on a warrant issued by probation officials in the latest legal entanglement for the R&B singer who has struggled to put his 2009 attack on Rihanna behind him.
The warrant was issued by the judge overseeing Brown’s case after he was informed Friday morning that the singer had been discharged from rehab “for failure to comply with rules and regulations of the program.” No further details were released, but more information will be presented to Superior Court Judge James Brandlin when Brown appears in his courtroom on Monday afternoon.
Sheriff’s officials said Brown was cooperative when he was arrested at a Malibu treatment facility where he had been staying and transported to a jail facility in downtown Los Angeles.
Brown had been ordered to remain in rehab for anger management treatment. A January letter from the facility stated that the singer was also being treated for bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and past substance abuse.
