Michelle Obama Promotes Healthy Eating on Sesame Street

Michelle Obama, Sesame Street

Reason no. 394 we love Michelle Obama? She's helping us with the seemingly impossible task of teaching our little ones to eat their veggies! To mark the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, the first lady will appear on the children's program tomorrow, encouraging kids to grow their own tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and carrots.

"If you eat these vegetables, you will grow up to be big and strong like me," explains Michelle, who dressed for the occasion in a green cardi. "I know you are going to like these vegetables because in addition to being healthy, they really taste great, too."

No word yet on whether Cookie Monster or Oscar the Grouch stormed off the set in protest.
