Beyoncé & Michelle Partner To Battle Fat Kids



Beyoncé is helping Michelle Obama with the Let's Move! campaign to fight childhood obesity. The campaign is promoting the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. The Let's Move! campaign partners with government, doctors, public health officials, business leaders, nonprofit groups and schools who are pledging to work together to get kids off the couch and into a healthier lifestyle.

This is not going to be an easy battle to fight but this comprehensive initiative has the potential of putting kids on the right path to a healthier future. Strategies include working with the food industry to advertise healthier food options rather than marketing sugary snacks, installing sidewalks to encourage walking to school, putting in greengrocers in inner cities to make access to better food decisions readily available.

Sure, Let's Move! has an ambitious goal but American children are fat and it is time we take a holistic approach to this problem - and make it cool for the kids.
