Michelle Obama says she is enlisting New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul and other athletes to help spread the message that childhood obesity has become an epidemic.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was selected co-chair of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.
