Michelle Obama’s Got Skills!

Michelle Obama’s got skills, hula hoops skills!

First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a ‘Healthy Kids Fair’ at the White House on the South Lawn and was joined by about 100 parents and children from local elementary schools.

The goal of the event was to introduce fun activities and good, healthy food to the younger generation hoping for children to change their bad habits at a young age.

In her speech she said:

“Right now one in three children in this country are overweight or obese. And as I’ve said many times before, if we think we’re dealing with a serious health problem now, you know, then we project out to five, 10, 20 years from now when we see these rates increase and all the illnesses that result from obesity, whether it’s high blood pressure, or heart disease, cancer.

And believe it or not, which is a very surprising thing, medical experts are now warning that for the first time in the history of this nation, we’re headed for the next generation being on track to have a shorter life span than us. That’s the way we’re going right now.”

She also showed off her hula hoop and jump rope skills.
