Obama Pokes Fun at Michelle’s Healthy-Eating Initiatives

Healthy eating and exercise is something first lady Michelle Obama takes very seriously. Her husband, not really?

During a stop at a Chicago campaign office for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D), President Obama walked in with three boxes, joking that his wife sent them. “Michelle sent these. We got broccoli, carrots.”

Inside were actually doughnuts and pastries, according to a White House pool report.

Michelle has spent much of her time in the White House promoting anti-obesity initiatives. She is widely associated with the move to add healthier options to public school food policies.
