Michelle Obama "Let's move" speech - part 5


That's why the second part of "Let's move" is to get healthier food into our schools. (Applause.)

And we're working to reauthorize our child nutrition legislation that will make significant new investments to revamp our school meals and improve the food that we offer in those school vending machines, so that we're serving our kids less sugar, salt and fat, and more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

This is bipartisan legislation and it is critically important for the health and success of our children, and we are hoping that Congress will act swiftly to get this passed. (Applause.)

But we also know that healthy eating is only half the battle. Experts recommend at least 60 minutes a day of activity. That's as least the bare minimum, and many of our kids aren't even close.

So the third part of "Let's move" is to help our kids get moving, to find new ways for them to get and stay active and fit. And we're working to get more kids participating in daily physical education classes and to get more schools offering recess for their students.
