Thank You Michelle
It appears her Let’s Move! program has been effective. It also means, lower medical costs in the future for America. The President and his wife will be remembered for taking on health care costs, uninsured and unhealthy and stopping the declining health of poor America.

BTW....they have started letting those banned lunches back because kids weren't eating their lunch.

"...While the precise reasons for the decline in obesity among 2 to 5 year olds are not clear, many child care centers have started to improve their nutrition and physical activity standards over the past few years. In addition, CDC data show decreases in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages among youth in recent years. Another possible factor might be the improvement in breastfeeding rates in the United States, which is beneficial to staving off obesity in breastfed children..."

My wife and daughter worked as Extended Day Teachers at an elementary school (K-5th). According to them, the lunches/snacks sent by parents were the majority of the time lacking in fruits/vegetables and were most often chips/candy/cookies.
Nobody gets to pick their parents.
"2 to 5 years olds"....yeah that's the target group of "lets move"......:idiot....Grasping at straws Mister??

The new paper, by Centers for Disease Control researcher Cynthia L. Ogden and co-authors, doesn't say why childhood obesity is declining. But the paper and several other studies that it cites suggest a number of theories:
1. Nutrition assistance such as food stamps and WIC (women, infants and children) may have led to decreases in childhood obesity among low-income Americans as federal standards have changed to promote healthier eating. For example, WIC has revised its funding formula to boost the amount of fruits and vegetables and peanut butter a mother and her child eat. At the time time, WIC has limited the amount of (non-breast) milk that a child drinks, to limit fat intake.
2. New federal nutritional guidelines have trickled down to state and local programs, such as encouraging increased consumption of water and 100 percent fruit juice, limiting serving sizes, encouraging a single adult not to feed more than one infant at a time, and limiting time in front of the television.
3. As the value of breastfeeding has been increasingly understood, there’s been a substantial increase in babies drinking breastmilk. One study showed that 70.3 percent of children breastfed in 2000, rising to 74.6 percent in 2008.
4. Pregnant women have increasingly understood the risks of smoking during pregnancy, with a study showing the percentage of women doing so declining from 13.3 percent in 2000 to 12.3 percent in 2010.
5. Food companies, under pressure, have limited television advertisements targeting children. Between 2003 and 2007, the daily exposure of a child, age to 2 to 5, to food ads fell by 13.7 percent.
6. A number of national initiatives have promoted healthy eating among children, such as first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative and reports from a wide range of groups such as the American Public Health Association and American Academy of Pediatrics

Wow, you still believe the stat's the obozo admin tries to feed us? You must be quite the Unicorn cowboy.
If your children are obese, please accept my sympathies.
Geez, the rhetoric is getting weaker and weaker.
My Non Government Affiliated study says the opposite.
On Tuesday, the same day Michelle Obama delivered her "Let's Move" fourth anniversary speech, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) released results on the condition of childhood obesity in America, which includes statistics through 2012, three years into the Let's Move Program.
JAMA’s conclusion: “Overall, there have been no significant changes in obesity prevalence in youth or adults between 2003-2004 and 2011-2012. Obesity prevalence remains high and thus it is important to continue surveillance.”

Did you read it?
There was a significant decrease in obesity among 2- to 5-year-old children (from 13.9% to 8.4%; P = .03) and a significant increase in obesity among women aged 60 years and older (from 31.5% to 38.1%
You should always read the links you try and use to fool people. Someone looks silly now, and it ain't who you think.

Look at squidy's link.
Did you?
Overall, there have been no significant changes in obesity prevalence in youth or adults between 2003-2004 and 2011-2012
since "let's move" is pushed in and by schools, what 2-5 year olds took part in school?
Part of the lets move program is to improve access to healthy foods.
Did anyone tell the people of Portland?
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Trader Joe’s grocery-store chain has dropped a plan to open a new store in the heart of the city’s historically African-American neighborhood after activists said the development would price black residents out of the area.
Local community leaders and activists said on Feb. 3 that opening a Trader Joe’s in the historically Black neighborhood would “increase the desirability of the neighborhood for non-oppressed populations” and risk gentrifying the neighborhood.
God forbid the hood becomes "desirable".
LOL
"Non-oppressed people" = white people.

The "nut"huggery is strong in this one.
I sure the CDC made this stuff up and Michelle and never said a word about healthy eating or exercise. I'm also confident your explanation is far better and more believable. Why don't you tell what it is?
Once again http://www.letsmove.gov/about
Subject chance indicates lack of knowledge on the topic, but most of us already knew that.
I have no admiration for the Obamas/Democrats and what many their policies have done to my family, friends and small business owners I speak with. Still, if Mrs Obama's initiative has resulted in a drop for childhood obesity rates, I cheer her on. No man is right all the time, and so no one party is as well. You ALL need to go fishing more.

Doesn't she get an A for effort? She, and all FLOTUS', are politicians in their own right. They have a staff of underlings, including schedulers and analysts. So when she or "the" president, whomever he/she may be, says something, they're repeating what their staff has told them.
Nevertheless, her program is doing something good for Americans, more than likely more than you've ever done.
everyone gets a prize

Where is the proof it is connected?
Stats from the CDC is not proof?
Like unemployment numbers?
or deportation numbers?
or Obamacare numbers?
yeah…. like anyone believes anything this admin says.
