Sinopse

The chronic diseases caused by childhood obesity and the health costs that follow can impact all of society at large. This year, First Lady Michelle Obama launched a campaign called "Let's Move," targeting the issue and pledging to end childhood obesity within a generation. The WHRO Center for Regional Citizenship has long focused on the childhood obesity epidemic. Right now, it's partnering with the Richmond-based Interfaith Center for Public Policy to promote a new program: "Healthy Habits for Hampton Roads." We'll also explore how some say equitable transportation policy can even reverse childhood obesity by keeping kids moving. Join us!
