Michael Obama encourages kids to eat and exercise, appearing in hip hop video

It is not the first time when First Lady Michelle Obama has appeared in entertainment media for encouraging health and other issues, but surely it is the first time when Mrs. Obama will appear in hip-hop video encouraging kids to plan their diet and exercise for sound health. NBC reported that the project is a partnership between ‘Hip Hop Public Health and ‘Partnership for a Healthier America.


The hip hop song will be sung by Jordin Sparks who herself recently lost 50 pounds. The song is motivation and direct to American kids for healthy diet and fitness for a better nation. Mrs. Obama has agreed for the song “Everybody” because of her directly involvement in anti-obesity campaign. She already launched “Let’s Move” campaign in 2010 against children’s obesity in the United States.

While there is a large section of society who eulogizes Mrs. Obama’s move, but some critics such as Sarah Palin have slammed the initiative saying it a government intrusion in the name of a campaign.
