Is there anything the First Lady can't do? She's a smart, hands-on parent, she gardens and has managed to become a style icon to boot. Well today she's launched a new campaign, Let’s Move, to address childhood obesity in tandem with Partnership for a Healthier America. The campaign's goal is to solve childhood obesity within a generation by promoting healthy eating and physical activity by focusing on a number of actionable strategies, including bringing healthier food options into schools, and providing access to affordable, nutritious foods to families in urban and rural neighborhoods—communities that often don't have easy access to healthier foods.

As the childhood obesity rates grow from single to double digits in America, we applaud the First Lady’s commitment. While it's hardly breaking news that childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years, obese kids are a greater risk for a number of health problems as they age, including heart disease, high blood pressure, bone and joint problems, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea. Serious conditions that our kids shouldn't have to be burdened with.
