New York's first lady paid a visit to a Buffalo school Friday morning.
Michelle Paterson is tackling the childhood obesity crisis that's sweeping the Empire State.
Michelle Paige-Paterson said, "One and four kids is either overweight or obese and in communities of color it's one and three."
It's why Paterson is checking out schools like Waterfront in preparation for a campaign she plans to launch in a few months to tackle childhood obesity.
"We're going to work with five cities, Buffalo being one of them. You'll hear more about that in January and the kick off to the contest will be in March."
The contest stems from a smaller one she had success with in her hometown last year.
