The First Lady Debuts on Sesame Street

[Nonno]

"Sesame Street will celebrate its 40th season with a guest appearance by First Lady Michelle Obama, who will talk up the benefits of gardening and healthy eating.

In the season’s first episode, which will be broadcast on Nov. 10, Mrs. Obama talks to young children as she prepares to plant tomato, cucumber and lettuce seeds.

“All these seeds need to grow are sun, soil and water,’’ the first lady says. “If you eat these healthy foods, you’re going to grow up to be big and strong, like me. I know you’re going to like these vegetables, because in addition to being healthy, they really taste great!”

The appearance is designed to promote Mrs. Obama’s healthy living agenda by encouraging Americans to improve their eating and exercise habits. And in recent weeks, Mrs. Obama has touted the importance of good nutrition and working out in several magazine interviews.

She appears in the October issues of Women’s Health and Children’s Health magazines. She will also appear on the November cover of Prevention magazine. And her husband, the president, talks about his fitness regimen in the October issue of Men’s Health. (Full disclosure: Camille Johnston, the first lady’s communications director, once ran the communications shop at Rodale Inc, which owns all four magazines.)"
