Michelle Obama tours California community farm
LOS ANGELES – US First Lady Michelle Obama toured a community farm in California to promote her campaign against childhood obesity as she arrived back in the United States after her first solo foreign trip.
Obama, who had earlier this week made a surprise stop in Haiti on her way to Mexico, was shown around the New Roots Community Farm in San Diego by two farmers and called for healthy foods to be made easily available.
"Healthy children come from a place, a place that is a healthy community," Obama said.
"If a family lives in a neighborhood with a grocery store nearby, it is simple, they are more likely to put fresh fruits and vegetables on the table because they will have access to it."
The event was used to announce a partnership between the popular First Lady's "Let's Move!" campaign and the California Endowment's Building
