“I am honored to be able to join First Lady Michelle Obama in announcing the most comprehensive effort in battling the growing epidemic of childhood obesity,” Barber said. “As someone who grew up in public housing and knows firsthand what the value of being active and living a healthy lifestyle means, I will do whatever I can to support the cause and bring awareness to this very crucial issue.”
“Let’s Move” is an initiative being led by First Lady Michelle Obama to address childhood obesity. This program, officially announced today at The White House, will kick-off with a national public awareness effort to tackle the epidemic of childhood obesity and encourage involvement by leaders from every level – the public, non-profit, and private sector, as well as parents and youth – to help support and amplify the work of the Federal government in ensuring that the nation’s children are healthy. The work of the initiative will focus on four objectives: 1) increase the number of healthy schools in the country; 2) increase the level of regular physical activity that kids are getting; 3) improve the accessibility and affordability of healthy foods in underserved urban and rural areas; and 4) empower consumers to make better choices in their own lives.
