First Lady Michelle
Obama stopped at a Miami rec center Tuesday to continue her fight
against childhood obesity by ensuring that children are staying healthy
throughout their day, including after the school bell rings.She
announced that two of the nation's largest after-school providers, Boys
& Girls Clubs of America and the National Recreation and Park
Association, have committed to creating healthier environments for five
million kids in their programs. Nearly 5,400 clubs and sites will serve a
fruit or vegetable at each meal or snack along with healthier drink
options including lower fat milk and water, ensure kids get 30 to 60
minutes of physical activity each day and educate kids about the
importance of staying active.NBC's
"Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler introduced the first lady,
joking that her Let's Move program was "taking off a little bit faster
than my initiative 'Let's Help Me Move'.
