Michelle Obama says: Get healthy. Cut out fat, sugar, salt
Michelle Obama is urging the nation's largest food companies to speed up efforts to make healthier foods and reduce marketing of unhealthy foods to children.
The first lady has talked to schools and nutrition groups across the country in her effort to reduce childhood obesity. This is the first time she has confronted the food companies that make the snacks and junk food that stuff grocery aisles and school vending machines.
Michelle Obama to Restaurants: Cut Fat
First Lady Michelle Obama gave the restaurant industry some cooking advice today: a little less butter and cream, and hold the fries.
Obama gave her first address to the National Restaurant Association, the industry’s main lobby, since she made fighting childhood obesity her signature cause.
Her message contained the most pointed remarks yet to an industry widely viewed as a main contributor to the nation’s expanding waste lines and rising diabetes rates.

Michelle Obama feasted on ribs while on her skiing holiday.
The First Lady, who has spearheaded a campaign to change American eating habits, ate ancho-chile short ribs (141 fat grams per serving) from a restaurant next to her luxury ski hotel in Vail, Colorado.
The Obamas have already come under fire for the vacation, with the President accused of double standards after appealing for Americans to sacrifice their holidays just days before his wife and children went on the costly skiing trip.
First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha are on the ‘private family trip’ for Presidents' Day Weekend.
The first lady went to Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail Village on Saturday night, dining on a braised ancho-chile short rib with hominy wild mushrooms, the Vail Daily reported.
Chef and owner Kelly Liken said: 'Yes, it's true, the first lady dined at our restaurant tonight and seemed to really enjoy it.'
