Michelle Obama Instagram – Fifteen years ago when I was First Lady, Partnership for a Healthier America was founded to improve the health of children in our country alongside my Let’s Move! initiative. We wanted to create a movement that made healthy eating and physical activity the norm — making sure fruits and vegetables were accessible while showing our kids examples of ways they could stay active.
I’ll always be proud of the work we were able to accomplish. We improved the federal school nutrition standards, garnered meaningful commitments from food companies and restaurant chains to lower calories, salt, sugar, and trans fat in their products, modernized the Nutrition Facts label to help give families the information they needed, and empowered parents and caregivers with tools to support themselves and their families.
Today, Partnership for a Healthier America’s mission has evolved to advancing access to good food for everyone in America. In the past few years, we’ve distributed over 1 million meals to families in need through our Pass the Love campaign with Waffles Mochi. But there is still a lot more work to do—because, frankly, our kids deserve better.
