It’s no secret that Michelle Obama is a national advocate, fighting childhood obesity across America. Three years after First Lady Obama launched the Let’s Move campaign and President Obama signed an Executive Order to establish a Task Force on Childhood Obesity, the CDC reports that childhood obesity rates are declining among preschoolers in families with low incomes. Progress has been made!
Yes, we are making progress. But that doesn’t mean that we should slow our efforts or re-direct our attention. First Lady Obama is determined to keep on going. In fact, Partnership for a Healthy America, a nonprofit partner of Let’s Move, is launching Songs for a Healthier America - a hip hop album and music videos to fight childhood obesity.
Check out the music video below. It’s a video for one of the album’s singles, “Everybody,” and it features Mrs. Obama, rapper Doug E. Fresh, singer-songwriter Jordin Sparks, and TV personality Dr. Oz. The full album will be released on September 30. Enjoy!
