Michelle Obama visits Sesame Street and promotes healthy eating and being active

Michelle Obama is truly rising as one of our most health minded mothers/First Lady. First, she is planting a garden in the White House and now she is on Sesame Street promoting healthy habits.

Here is a cute public service announcement Michelle Obama made with Elmo talking about her activities while visiting Sesame Street. It's about a minute long and worth watching with your little one!

She brings out three key messages:

• healthy lunches
• the importance of daily exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the neighborhood
• parents are important role models by showing their child how to have healthy habits
