"Let's Move"

"Let's Move" is the name of Michelle Obama's campaign against obesity. I learned about this campaign because she was giving an interview in a Spanish channel. I think it was very interesting because there is one cause of obesity amongst kids that I had not thought about. The lack of time that parents have to cook a nutritious meal for their kids, and opt to cooking fast meal that contain more calories than what the kids need. Michelle Obama mentioned that the parents need to serve meals that constitute of vegetable and fruits to make up for the unhealthy food those kids are eating in schools. She would also ask the Congress to spend 10 billion dollars over the next decade for schools to serve healthier meals.
