About Lets Move

Let's Move is the name of the program launched in February 2010 by First Lady Michelle Obama to combat childhood obesity. The call to action of the program, in an abbreviated form, is:

*Our kids need to be more active
*Our kids need to eat healthier food
*We (parents, teachers, doctors, grocers and businesspeople) need to work together.
*We need to assure that our kids have access to more fruit, less sugar, more vegetables, less fat.
*We must move together to solve this problem. Let's Move!

The program will promote Healthy Choices, Healthier Schools, Physical Activity, and Access to Affordable Healthy Food.

The White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity was released on May 11, 2010 and provided a specific action plan for Let's Move.

The action plan defines solving the problem of childhood obesity in a generation as returning to a childhood obesity rate of just 5 percent by 2030, which was the rate before childhood obesity first began to rise in the late 1970s. In total, the report presents a series of 70 specific recommendations, many of which can be implemented right away.

Summarizing them broadly, they include:

*Getting children a healthy start on life, with good prenatal care for their parents; support for breastfeeding; adherence to limits on screen time; and quality child care settings with nutritious food and ample opportunity for young children to be physically active.

*Empowering parents and caregivers with simpler, more actionable messages about nutritional choices based on the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans; improved labels on food and menus that provide clear information to help parents make healthy choices for children; reduced marketing of unhealthy products to children; and improved health care services, including

*BMI (body mass index) measurement for all children.

*Providing healthy food in schools, through improvements in federally-supported school lunches and breakfasts; upgrading the nutritional quality of other foods sold in schools; and improving nutrition education and the overall health of the school environment.

*Improving access to healthy, affordable food, by eliminating food deserts in urban and rural America; lowering the relative prices of healthier foods; developing or reformulating food products to be healthier; and reducing the incidence of hunger, which has been linked to obesity.

*Getting children more physically active, through quality physical education, recess, and other opportunities in and after school; addressing aspects of the built environment that make it difficult for children to walk or bike safely in their communities; and improving access to safe parks, playgrounds, and indoor and outdoor recreational facilities.
