Nearly one-third of children in America
are
overweight or obese–a rate that has tripled in adolescents and more
than doubled in younger children since 1980. One-third of all
individuals born in the year 2000 or later will eventually suffer
from
diabetes over the course of their lifetime, while too many others
will
face chronic obesity-related health problems such as heart disease,
high blood pressure, cancer, and asthma. Without effective
intervention, many more children will endure serious illnesses that
will put a strain on our health-care system and reduce their quality
of
life.

Childhood obesity or excess weight threatens the healthy future of one third of American children. We spend $150 billion every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing.

Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.

We need to get moving. Join First Lady Michelle Obama, community leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, moms and dads in a nationwide campaign to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity. 

Let’s Move! has an ambitious but important goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.
