Last week, Secretary Vilsack traveled to Dallas, Texas, home of Superbowl XLV, to meet with officials from the public and private sectors to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining a commitment to enacting healthy solutions to childhood obesity under Fuel Up to Play 60 .This partnership represents an unprecedented pledge to our kids to help get them moving toward physical fitness and health, a key element of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative.

Check out the video below to watch St. Louis Rams Quarterback Sam Bradford and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack discuss the importance of physical activity and healthy lifestyles for our nation's youth.
