The NY Times 
The New York Times recently reported on the progress of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, a program aimed at fighting childhood obesity.
Mrs. Obama has partnered with a wide range of partners in government, medicine, science, business, education, and athletics to help meet her goals. Major suppliers of school lunches have pledged to reduce fat, sugar, and salt in their meals; the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that doctors measure body mass index in children; and professional athletes have agreed to volunteer their time for public service announcements promoting “60 Minutes of Play a Day.”
