You heard right! First Lady of the United States of America is set to collaborate with the likes of Jordin Sparks, Travis Baker and many more for a hip hop inspired album called “Songs for Healthier America.” Michelle is making a huge effort to combat obesity amongst Americans; the number one ‘killer‘ in the country today.
Michelle Obama, in her effort to promote her “Let’s Move!” campaign will be roping in the likes of health care professional (as seen in the Oprah show) Dr. Oz, in combating childhood obesity in America. Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady, dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams.
According to studies, obesity plagues Americans aged 20 and older making it a whopping 154.7 million people who are overweight or obese this year.
“In the end, as First Lady, this isn’t just a policy issue for me. This is a passion. This is my mission. I am determined to work with folks across this country to change the way a generation of kids thinks about food and nutrition.”
First Lady Michelle Obama
