Earlier this month, the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity published its report, Solving the Problem of Childhood Obesity within a Generation.  The report, part of Michelle Obama’s Let's Move! campaign, details a coordinated strategy, identifies key benchmarks, and outlines an action plan to end the problem of childhood obesity within a generation. The action plan defines the goal of ending childhood obesity in a generation as returning to a childhood obesity rate of just 5 percent by 2030 -- the rate before childhood obesity first began to rise in the late 1970s. The report presents 70 specific recommendations, many of which can be implemented immediately.  Chapter 5, Increasing Physical Activity, calls for a federal surface Transportation act that enhances livability and physical activity.  It identifies the need for “a complete network of safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities,” federal aid for Complete Streets projects, “routine accommodation of walkers and bicyclists,” and “support for public Transportation.”
