Michelle Obama praises salad bar donations at White House celebration of HealthierUS Schools Challenge
Michelle Obama has told a gathering of 1,500 participants in the HealthierUS Schools Challenge about the success of the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative.
The first lady told her audience at the White House: "Because you all mobilized and organized, we passed historic legislation here in Washington to improve and provide more nutritious school meals to more of our children. We’re helping install salad bars in more than 800 schools, bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to hundreds of thousands of kids across this country."
She singled out Washington, DC's Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School for special acclaim, revealing that students are "eating every last bit of broccoli and spinach and cauliflower in those salad bars".
