First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus.
Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children.
The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids.
“With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community efforts to create a healthier generation using interactive exhibits, outdoor spaces, gardens and programs that encourage families to eat healthy foods and increase physical activity,” the program said.
So far, 624 institutions across the country have signed up.
One of the goals of the program is that 90 percent of the museums and centers that offer food service will “already offer or will change their menu to offer food options that reflect healthy choices.”
Let’s Move! wants the museums to abide by the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) nutrition standards.....

I wonder how long it will take for this *lets move* agenda to be long forgotten after the two current residents if The White House leave office. I say 30 days.
They have snack bars at museum’s?
The Wookie is imposing her will on any place that gets federal funding, or from states that get federal funding, or from cities, towns or locals that get federal funding.
If she really wanted to do something about obesity, she’d do something about that caboose she’s carting around.
Well, she’s probably been to some of the museums in DC, and they have plenty of them.
Let's face it...she was a big, fat slob before Oprah cleaned her up and she'll soon revert to her true slovenly self.
She does this because she has nothing else to do and she wants to look “Impotent”.
With Obama off all over the Globe with Reggie she is pretty much left alone to her own devices, and she is unqualified for most anything else.
Her caboose is genetic, there really isn’t much she can do to remove it.
Which gov agency regulates the signs that say “WIDE LOAD”
She said he's a slob...nice wife...
Please. The zer0s have millions. She will have servants the rest of her life.
I thought the voluptuous nudes of Renoir & Reubens would have long ago been spraypainted by the feminists with “This image exploits womyn!!!” or some such.
BTW, didn’t those artists save on modeling costs by persuading their young housemaids to pose in the altogether (”Let me immortalize you, my dear!”)?
But then, every artist likes to put a little of himself into his work.
