Michelle Obama: I have a good relationship with French fries

First Lady Michelle Obama talks to school children about the importance of exercise and nutrition at the Healthy Kids Fair on the South Lawn at the White House.

MRS. OBAMA: Well, hello!

CHILDREN: Hello!

MRS. OBAMA: It's good to see everybody. Perfect weather, right?

CHILDREN: Yes!

MRS. OBAMA: Thank you so much. I am thrilled to have you all here today at the White House. And I also want to thank a few people before we start, not just the young people here who also -- some of you brought your parents, so let's see the parents. Give the parents a round of applause. (Applause.)

But in addition to all of you, we've got a few pretty special guests. We've got some talented chefs and nutritionists here to teach us how to make healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks.

So I want to first want to introduce Koren Grieveson, who I just got to meet. Koren, where are you? There she is, over there. (Applause.) She's from my hometown, Chicago. (Applause.) Yay for Chicago.

And then we have Todd Gray. Todd, where are you? Raise your hand. Todd is from my new hometown right here in Washington, D.C. (Applause.)

And then we've got Sam Kass who a lot of you probably met -- (applause) -- but Sam is in charge of the White House Garden, so he oversees all of that along with all of our wonderful White House chefs. Everybody from the White House team, raise your hands, all of our White House crew. (Applause.)

And we also have Vahista Ussery and the rest of the staff from the School Nutrition Association who are on the frontlines every day in our schools. (Applause.) So Vahista, where are you and all of the nutrition experts? (Applause.)

And Elie Krieger, one of the nutritionists from the Food Network, she's way in the back with her family. Thank you, Elie. (Applause.)

And I want to thank all the folks from the YMCA and Playworks. They helped us set up all the fun things that we're going to have to do after we get through talking. So let's give them a round of applause. (Applause.)

@NCBlueSky1 She is talking to young children. She is doing a really great thing by trying to make America a healthier place. It's because of people like you that our country isn't improving.

@NCBlueSky1 You probably think away with schools. Look at africa, no school, rice only. we take this for granted. this is great that the first lady isn't standing around being a bitch at the white house, she's actually trying to fix the country, keep in mind she's not the vice president. you think woman can't be president? look at michelle, she has the right idea, little ideas with big huge impact, and she's not even president. also keep in mind she hasn't done alot political debates or speeches

[Flamepwnz]

dont take anything she says to heart. Government cant fix anything, she cant fix it either, its up to the individual to take responsibility. I think thats something we've lost in this country, personal responsibility is very important.

@NCBlueSky1 How is she boring? Because she is not sexual? Get outta here this is a serious matter for America and not only America but the world. She is a proper lady by the looks of it, you negative thing.

Conketta Soetoro and her enormous ASS...........

I bet most of the people who are calling her a bitch and telling her to lose weight...are the absolute morons who take their kids to McDonalds every day after school. Being big, does not make one unhealthy. She is not even overweight, she looks normal. I don't even care, personally. If you choose to eat tons of disgusting fried foods and other junk, go for it. It will kick your ASS in the end. I can't wait to see all of the fat ass middle aged people, who are my age now, 50 years from now.
