Michelle Obama leads the nation in the fight against childhood obesity.

Posted on Mar 15, 2010 by Maggie LaBarbera
 

Michelle Obama is taking a front seat in the fight against childhood obesity.  She reminds us that today, one-third of all American children are overweight or obese. The rate is even higher among African Americans, and one-half of all minority children born in 2000 or later can expect to develop early-onset diabetes.

A new website Let's Move.gov was launched to reach out to individuals, teachers, parents, leaders and anyone that wants to join the fight against childhood obesity.

We are proud to say that Nourish Interactive has joined Michelle Obama and the Let's Move Organization to help kids eat healthier and be more active.  It is going to take "a village"!

Let’s Move will:

  • give parents the support they need
  • provide healthier food in schools
  • help our kids to be more physically active
  • make healthy, affordable food available in every part of our country
