WASHINGTON (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama is launching a nationwide campaign against childhood obesity.
It's part of her effort to teach America's children about better nutrition and exercise.
She says the Let's Move campaign will encourage more physical activity for children -- along with healthier food in schools and more accurate food labeling. Some of her initiatives will require congressional action -- including tax breaks for grocery stores to move into poorly served communities.
In the Oval Office today, President Barack Obama signed a memorandum creating a task force on childhood obesity.
He said his wife is tackling one of "the most urgent health issues facing the country."
why don't the president and his wife do something instead of just talking and saying things that wont change a thing.first stop blameing the kids and there parents for being
fat blame the people who add all the chemicals and
crap to food and drinks.then lower the price of
healthy food so people can afford to buy good
food and raise the price of junk food so people eat it less.finaly cut out half the classes at the schools and let kids play and have fun and enjoy being kids.
