During her time as First Lady, Michelle Obama dedicated tremendous time and resources to fighting the childhood obesity epidemic in the U.S. Her Let’s Move initiative was designed to promote better eating and exercise habits among children. She also was part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which called for healthier lunches in schools and funded meals for children whose families could not afford them. She’s currently working with First Lady Jill Biden on their Joining Forces program, which provides health services to veterans, as well as their families.
