ICYMI: First Lady, Michelle Obama on FoodCorps during this weeks White House Garden Planting... FoodCorps are near and dear to my heart because theyre an AmeriCorps national service program. And before I became First Lady, I ran an AmeriCorps program called Public Allies. But what these young people do...spend a year either after college, during college, after college, and they spend it in a community, in a school helping you guys understand the importance of healthy eating and knowing what good food is and helping you plant gardens in your schools and in your communities, right? Youre helping to spread that knowledge about why eating fresh fruits and vegetables is so important -- so important that they have dedicated a year of their life to making that happen. Theyre going to be helping out today. Thank you guys so much. Thanks for your service and your efforts. It really makes a difference. The whole notion of getting out there and teaching healthy habits for our kids is brilliant, and were grateful.
