First lady Michelle Obama went to Florida Thursday for - what else - some politicking and some more cheerleading for her anti-portliness campaign, this time reaching out to Hispanics with the nation's largest Hispanic-owned subsistence company.
The first lady herself was a walking advertisement for the benefits of healthy eating, in a work-chic sleeveless black dress with exposed seam detailing.
Appearing at a Latino supermarket in Tampa, Obama praised Goya Foods for ration to promote the Agriculture Department's new MiPlato, or MyPlate, food-assemblage symbol to help families make healthy choices in their meals. Goya Foods is printing brochures, posters, coupons and cookbooks, and putting the MiPlato icon on some of its products.
Obama said Hispanic families visage unique challenges, according to the White House transcript and pond reports. "While one in three kids in America are overweight or obese, we know that in the Hispanic community, it's approximately two in five," she said, adding that MiPlato is a how-to guide that any family can use and interpret in a way that is reliable to their traditions.
