She’s on a tour in support of her program supporting exercise and healthy eating as a way to combat childhood obestiy. In a talk to Air Force personnel in the base dining hall, she talked of her push for healthy eating, complimented them on their healthy appearance and said the good example of people who serve the country would be an inspiration to children. (Plates appeared to contain a lot of green matter.)

“When you come home from service they are in awe,” she said, “and if you do the right thing, they will follow through.”
