Michelle Obama: My Challenge to You
Michelle Obama: My challenge to you – It has been five years since first lady, Michelle Obama started Let’s Move!, an initiative to address childhood obesity and help all our kids grow up healthy.
And the First Lady marks this fifth anniversary, by addressing the nation saying, “We’re celebrating how far we’ve come, we’re challenging ourselves to do even more, and we’re committing to be true champions for this issue in the years ahead. That’s our theme for this anniversary year: Celebrate, challenge, champion. How can we all work together to tackle childhood obesity and help our kids grow up healthy?”
Childhood obesity rates have finally stopped rising — and obesity rates are actually falling among our youngest children.
The First lady also says that while the progress made has been impressive, the statistics are still daunting. She explains, “We need to protect the progress we’ve made on healthier school lunches, and we need more schools to find new ways to get kids active before, during, and after the school day.”
