First lady aims to trim American waist sizes

Since Obama announced her 'Let's Move' campaign in February, she's taken every opportunity to enlist the help of schools, food manufacturers, parents, politicians, doctors and others. Not to mention today's youth, who for the first time are on track to have shorter lifespans than their parents. "You guys are pretty sneaky," Obama told school children attending an April town hall at the White House on childhood obesity. "You'll find a way to get to that bag of chips." Jeff Levi, executive director of the Trust for America's Health, a Washington- based public health research organization, says Obama's high-visibility activities "make clear this isn't just a one-shot deal" for the administration. Now, he's waiting to see what specific plans an administration task force proposes to tackle the problem. The task force report is due in early May.
