Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by First Lady Michelle Obama, dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity
within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier
and able to pursue their dreams. Combining comprehensive strategies with
common sense, Let's Move! is about putting children on the
path to a healthy future during their earliest months and years. Giving
parents helpful information and fostering environments that support
healthy choices. Providing healthier foods in our schools. Ensuring that
every family has access to healthy, affordable food. And, helping kids
become more physically active.
Everyone has a role to play in reducing childhood obesity, including
parents, elected officials from all levels of government, schools,
health care professionals, faith-based and community-based
organizations, and private sector companies. Your involvement is key to
ensuring a healthy future for our children.
Let's Move! understands the large impact breastfeeding has on preventing childhood obesity as well as preventing obesity in breastfed children as they grow into adults.
