Its been more than six years since Michelle Obama kicked off her Lets Move! initiative to fight against childhood obesity, and children are as overweight as ever before.
Thats according to a new study published Tuesday in the journal Obesity. A team led by Duke University scientist Asheley Skinner studied data from the CDCs National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and found that the percentage of overweight and obese children between 2 and 19 years old has increased across the board since 1999.
That comes as bad news for the Obama administration, which has sought to force children to eat healthier foods and exercise more through the first ladys Lets Move! campaign and the Task Force on Childhood Obesity.

Frankly (and sadly) the school lunch is the only ‘real’ food that a lot of kids eat these days. Moochelle makes it miniscule and inedible...what do you think kids are going to do?
Grab a bag of chips and a soda as soon as they get home.
Ray Charles could have seen those unintended consequences a mile away.
results don’t matter with liberals. The only thing that matters is that they wanted to help and they spent a lot of tax payer money trying.
She (he?) ought to concern her/him self with her/his own fat ass.
I thought the Obama Admin quietly took this ridiculous and farcical project out back and had it quietly killed.
I raised the wookie lunches and was immediately struck down (I used different language, but they knew what I was saying)
take the electronics away from the kids and get them off their asses, make them go outside and play and fat kids will become a thing of the past.
Tell me again, who elected Michelle Obama or appointed her to be in charge of the food allotments or nutritional inputs of the children of the United States?
Who could have possibly seen this coming?
The medical industry doesn’t want you to read this.
Nor does the food industry.
But you should read it, and let it sink in.

Yes, inactivity is a major source for childhood obesity or obesity in general.
It is all a scam; just a headliner for her to get ‘good’ press.
Black privilege?
What happened to the story last Saturday posted here saying Michelle Obama’s 2 favorite foods are pizza and french fries which is the ultimate hypocrisy? I thought it was weird they pulled the story on FR? Any reasons?
I haven’t darkened Subway’s door since they partnered with her. Jersey Mike’s is better anyway.
I read the story too, didn't know it was pulled.
Oh what a good girl am I!
Then dessert --- Nutella right out of the jar with a spoon!
Even kids know Dorkbama is a dick.
Or better: Democrat privilege.
