Rally addresses youth obesity issue in Detroit

About 700 Detroit Public Schools students are expected to take part in a youth program targeting childhood obesity. City Councilman Andre Spivey says this morning\'s rally at Wayne State University for fourth- and fifth-graders will kick off his newly formed Minors Overcoming Obesity with Veggies and Exercise task force. M.O.O.V.E. Detroit is a spinoff of first lady Michelle Obama\'s \"Let\'s Move\" campaign, which pushes for better school lunches, more access to fruits and vegetables and more physical activity among children.
