Elmo Visits the White House Kitchen

On Monday, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act into law.  This legislation is an important step forward toward ensuring that no child goes to school hungry and that all children have access to healthy, nutritious foods at school.

Earlier this week, Elmo visited Assistant White House Chef Sam Kass in the White House kitchen to talk about the importance of healthy and delicious school meals. Check out the video below.

First Lady Michelle Obama is passionate about fighting the childhood obesity epidemic, that’s why she started Let’s Move! a nationwide campaign raise a healthier generation of kids.  As part of this effort the First Lady was a vocal advocate for this important legislation.

Well most of what they're fixing never should have happened, like pop tarts for breakfast and french fries as a vegetable. I'd rather the kids ate ketchup! I hope this fixes a lot of that.
