Go Michelle! Healthy Eating in the White House

I hope everyone has a minute to read this article in the New York Times. It’s so exciting to see Michelle Obama talking about healthy fresh food for everyone!

Michelle Obama’s Agenda Includes Healthful Eating

“It’s like: How do we keep the calories down but keep the flavors up?” said Mrs. Obama, who also praised a healthy broccoli soup prepared by White House chefs.

“That’s one of the things that we’re talking a lot about,” she said. “When you grow something yourself and it’s close and it’s local, oftentimes it tastes really good.

“And when you’re dealing with kids, for example, you want to get them to try that carrot. Well, if it tastes like a real carrot and it’s really sweet, they’re going to think that it’s a piece of candy. So my kids are more inclined to try different vegetables if they’re fresh and local and delicious.”
