Yesterday afternoon Beyonce, (who I adore) surprised students at PS/MS 161 in Harlem as part of the First Lady Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ initiative to fight childhood obesity. The children were dancing to Beyonce’s “Move your Body” track which she recorded for the initiative. Middle school students around the country participated in the four-minute flash dance routine.
Childhood obesity is very dear to my heart and I think is amazing what Michelle Obama is doing. Our company Market America is also very active on bringing awareness to childhood obesity as we have a program called TLS Shape UP for kids which is part of our Transitions weight loss program. The program is designed for kids to provide children with the tools he/she may need to not just lose weight, but make conscious decisions regarding their overall health. Last year our friend Eva Longoria surprised 12 kids our World Conference that successfully completed the program.
