The First Lady of the United States is making a bigger effort to reach out to Americans as means to combat obesity among the nation.
Michelle Obama is actually going to release a hip-hop inspired album called ‘Songs for Healthier America’, and it’s going to be about health! No, we’re not kidding. She’s reached out to popular artists like Jordin Sparks and Travis Barker to promote her “Let’s Move” campaign. Mrs Obama is also getting Oprah-approved health professional Dr. Oz on board to contribute to the album that aims to fight childhood obesity in America.
“This album is about more than just a great message and it’s about more than great music. It’s about making the healthy choice the easy choice,” said Partnership for a Healthier America’s Drew Nannis. The album is a collaborative effort between Obama, PHA, and Hip-Hop Public Health.
