Let's Move!


"First lady Michelle Obama: 'Let's move' and Work on Childhood Obesity Problem" was written by Robin Givhan in The Washington Post on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010. In this article, Givhan describes, First Lady Michelle Obama's, national iniative to decrease childhood obesity. Givhan also describes the four ways in which Michelle plans on carrying out this project. One of Michelle's goals is to alter what is being served in the school cafeterias, with the requirement of 10 billion dollars given over 10 years. Her plan is for her fight with obesity to be her legacy as First Lady.

This article provided a great deal of information on Michelle Obama's new program which will help me draw facts for my final paper. I chose this article mainly because it wasn't biased. It described the actions that Michelle plans on taking, including quotes that were said by Michelle herself. I also found it very beneficial that the writer included dollar amounts that would be required to carry out this program.
