Let’s Move started in 2010 when First Lady Michelle Obama decided to launch the initiative of getting to
the foundation of childhood obesity and then tackling the problem head on. Her goal was to spread
awareness and gather support from individuals at every level, including parents, schools, government
officials and everyone in-between.

The material on this website has been “frozen in time”. According to the website that means that the
website is no longer monitored or updated. This is because of the change in office but it doesn’t take
away the credible and respected work that went into the initiative, thus making everything on the
website a valuable resource for my research topic. Although no longer kept up to date the URL have a
.gov within it and the site moves you through introduction (learning the facts about the initiative, to
learning how to eat healthy, getting active, how to take action and then how to join the movement and
become a part of the solution.
