Bring back JFK's Presidential Fitness Challenge

Everyone’s talking about fixing food and pharma and getting conflicts of interest out of government agencies but equally important is a culture of physical fitness.

We need to bring back JFK’s Presidential Fitness Challenge on day one. I nominate Jillian Michaels and Kelly Slater to lead this program.

JFK was concerned about health when we had just 3% incidence of obesity. Now we have 74% obese or overweight population.

JFK spoke on the importance of physical fitness, “I speak not only as the President, but a parent… I hope all of you will join, in a great national effort to build a strong and better America.”

I participated in this program in 1961-62. Please bring it back in honor of JFK to encourage our youth to become more physically fit. We need this today more than ever with the lure of electronic games and communication !!
RFK would be the perfect person to champion this program!!
