This campaign is the latest step in her efforts to bring better nutrition to the forefront.

“One-third of American children are overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other illnesses. Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity-related conditions. And public health experts say today’s kids are on track to have shorter lifespans than their parents.

“‘None of us wants this future for our kids,’ Obama said at the White House. ‘We have to act, so let’s move.’”
