Oh, and when you eat healthy as well as work out, that doesn't mean you can never have hamburgers, french fries, and assorted fried foods. You just have to be smart about it. Eat less portion sizes, and not (let's say) twice a week.

To everyone who is commenting on this video, and saying negative things about her.

She is NOT forcing you guys to feed your child/ren healthy meals 24/7, geesh. So stop blabbing about how she is. But if you're wanting your children to not be active and you don't care what they eat, then that's fine too...they just have a greater chance of being obese, and it'll be whoever is their caregivers' faults when they do suffer from different complications.

she is a failure. Her plate menu failed, her school lunch program has failed and you want to know why? the food is crap and kids refuse to eat it. Besides she sits there and tells us how to eat and we see pictures of her cramming her fat mouth with hamburgers, french fries and assorted fried foods. You don't get to be as fat as her eating organic crap all the time.

@HarryNRubin This does not mean obesity should not be addressed. Do have a look about what an epidemic curve means in terms of future death and health care expenses.

I am amused by people thinking they can eradicate such a deep and wide problem in a generation... She makes a big mistake by saying she wants her kids to understand what to compete and win is... Many people stop sports because they can't be competitive because society only values success and stars and sham defeat and last. People need to understand pleasure of going out for a run with their partner, dog, friends, without giving a shit whether they are competitive / good / nice looking etc...

The greatest threat to the advancement of the black community are attitudes like mrs obama's dependence on gov't, elites know best she's an elitist now & an entitlement mentality.Michelle is ignorant bc she thinks that if we give more money to her & to government programs that kids are going to want to eat healthy. She is the first lady, not a policymaker. If Michelle Obama would look at her own parenting she would tell President Obama there is no need for gov't programs just good parenting.
