(CNN) – Michelle Obama may be the first first lady who can kick your butt.
In comments as part of a "Twitter Town Hall" she hosted Monday morning, the first lady said kickboxing is her favorite stress reliever. Of course, she also said children should be exercising 60 minutes a day and that they should steer clear of processed foods whenever possible.

Questions ranged from how to encourage healthy eating habits among children to what steps can be taken to combat negative body image among young adults.
The first lady emphasized serving fruits and vegetables at a young age is key to developing health eating habits and said it is important to "Focus on how kids feel, not how they look."
And what about Mrs. Obama's favorite winter recipe?
"I love turkey & veggie chili," she said.

She's such a horrible person. Here she is wanting kids to eat healthy, live longer lives and be more productive. Can't she find better things to do?
Keep up the good work First Lady. Eating healthy benefits everyone. Lower healthcare costs, longer lives and better self esteem.
Give me a hot and hearty soup when it's cold outside, and I'm happy.
What she is doing is remarkable and appreciated, BUT it looks like a short term effort. Who will take over her good work as soon as she is former First Lady?

Hopefully, the kids' parents will. Who, in turn, will hopefully grow up and impress the same values upon their own kids. And somehow I doubt that the effort will cease when she is no longer first lady.
Since so many in this country will be unemployed and without healthcare due to Obamacare, and with the increase of those on food stamps – the obesity rate is sure to go up. These efforts are counter-productive to her husbands destructive policies.
