Let's Move! Campaign

First lady Michelle Obama has been rallying for healthier lifestlyes since the rates of obesity has risen. Michelle came up with the Let's Move campaign for child obesity and it has recently gained much attention in the public eye. The U.S. Senate passed the "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act," which will give millions more children access to healthier meals by creating new nutrition standards for all foods served in public schools. Children will be served the same familiar foods they know such as pizza and chicken nuggets but made with more healthy ingredients and the meal with come with more fruits and vegetables. This is relevent to our class because one team is making a policy on child obesity and Michelle Obama could be a source for them because she is passionate about this and it is a major problem in the U.S.
