Not every child has access to fitness equipment or for that matter, a decent diet or even gym at the local school. Michelle Obama has decided that one of her focuses will be on childhood obesity. Currently, one out of three children is considered obese. From Lynn Sweet:

The Let’s Move campaign will combat the epidemic of childhood obesity through a comprehensive approach that builds on effective strategies, and mobilizes public and private sector resources. Let’s Move will engage every sector impacting the health of children to achieve the national goal, and will provide schools, families and communities simple tools to help kids be more active, eat better, and get healthy.

I wish Michelle Obama the best of luck in tackling this problem. However, it is not just a matter of government involvement, but parental involvement as well. Sometimes changes attitudes of parents is harder than providing the access to information.
