Michelle Obama: Healthy Habits for Life
Like many other First Ladies before her, Michelle Obama appeared on Sesame Street, a fantasy that many of us have had at least once in our lifetime. Who doesn’t want to hang out with Elmo, Big Bird and the rest of the gang? She teamed up with the lovable Elmo to tape a PSA (public service announcement) as part of the Healthy Habits for Life initiative. In the PSA the First Lady talks with Elmo about eating right, getting regular exercise and the role that parents play when it comes to being a healthy and positive influence.
In the PSA Elmo asks Mrs. Obama what she plans on doing while on the show and she replies,
“Well, first I want to get some exercise, so I’m going to take a walk around Sesame Street.”
Elmo then jumps around for joy for the pure thought of exercising like the First Lady does and he runs off stage while Ms. Obama gives the PSA:
“If you want your child to have healthy habits, practice healthy habits too, because you are your child’s best role model.”
When she revealed she was going to do the PSA she said,
“I’m on a high…..”probably the best thing I’ve done at the White House.”
