Let's Move!

   The White Houses' First lady, Michelle Obama has been working on this new project called "Let's Move". The main focus of this campaign is to raise a healthier generation of kids, which I believe is a great idea. But its not going to be easy. Getting kids to play and be active especially with the help of many organizations such as the NFL and the NBA is easy enough, as well as, convincing schools to offer healthier lunches, but i think the hardest part will be getting the parents involved. The only way to make a healthier generation of kids is if their parents cooperate and participate, because kids can't buy or make their own food. They eat whatever or wherever their parents take them. However I think this is something that can be improved upon and even successfully reached in the future. I admire her dedication and passion towards this problem in our country. I posted the link to the official website below if you would like to check it out.
