michelle obama’s lets move project
TRANSCRIPT
Current American president’s wife
She initiated the “Let’s Move Program” on
January 2010
The goal was to make progress in reversing
the 21st century trend of childhood obesity.
"Let's Move" has four pillars:
Offering parents the tools and information they need to make better decisions about their children's nutrition
Making food healthier in schools
Making healthy foods available to a large audience
Promoting physical activity
Revamping school menus to reduce the
amount of calorie intake in children
Professional chefs go to schools to teach
the children culinary skills so that they
can try out better nutritional choices by
themselves
Promoting physical activity through the
support of family, school and the public
opinion
More children in America get better nutrition
in school and at home
Parents are more aware of the nutritional
choices for their children and are more
mindful of what they cook
Healthy foods are more accessible to the
public
Less fat children
Better information on nutritional choices for
the public
