Over the past week we’ve seen the First Lady gearing up for her latest initiative – eliminating childhood obesity. She even went as far as using her daughters, Sasha and Malia, as examples of the “overweight” children according to their BMI.
Today she officially announced the “Let’s Move” campaign to an audience of children, educators, doctors, Cabinet secretaries, and other high profile folks. A task force has been established to submit a plan to the President within 90 days that outlines strategies to reach its ultimate goal – to eliminate childhood obesity within a generation.
The “Let’s Move” Web site has more information. Read more about this story.
Tonight at 9:00 PM EST, she’ll be on the Larry King show to talk about childhood obesity and of course the first family’s first year in the White House.
