Michelle Obama meets with cabinet members on childhood obesity

     Who’s that meeting with members of the Cabinet and Congress? It’s Michelle Obama, revving up for her campaign against childhood obesity.

    The first lady met Tuesday at the White House with six legislators and three Cabinet members who have a big role in health policy. Obama says she wants to get families, schools, businesses and governments working together on a problem that she says is “imminently solvable.”

    Obama isn’t the first first lady to get involved in policy.
Rosalynn Carter sat in on Jimmy Carter’s Cabinet meetings. And when Hillary Rodham Clinton was first lady, she was the architect of
Bill Clinton’s failed attempt to enact a major health reform
package in the 1990s.
