President Obama signs executive order as Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack, First Lady Michelle Obama and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius look on.
U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack was at the White House today for the launch of a “Let’s Move” initiative that aims to break the cycle of childhood obesity.
First Lady Michelle Obama has set reducing childhood obesity and promoting healthy eating as two of her priorities.
“She passionately spoke from first-hand experience as the mother of two wonderful children and the challenges that she faced as her children were growing up,” Vilsack says. ”I certainly understand that passion having been one of those youngsters she talked about today who was overweight, teased at school. This is a very important initiative for us, for this country.”
