CRI听力:US First Lady in Milan to Promote Healthy Eating

US First Lady Michelle Obama is now in Milan, Italy promoting her campaign to get children to eat healthy.

"And kids like you, you guys have to do your part. You gotta eat your vegetables, yeah, sorry about that, but you gotta have some vegetables."
Michelle Obama has taken part in a cooking class in the American School in Milan.

In pressing to get the children at the school to eat their veggies, she's also asking that they don't simply stuff their faces.

"You will find that if you are talking over dinner, you are actually paying more attention to how fast you are eating, so instead of gobbling your food, you are actually tasting it, and you probably eat less because you are not just shovelling. Shovelling is probably not a good thing. We don't shovel. Well, the President shovels sometimes."

Michelle Obama is on a week-long trip to Europe.

Her stop in Milan is for the opening of the US Pavilion at this year's World Expo.

Michelle Obama launched her "Let's Move" campaign in the US 5-years ago to try to combat childhood obesity rates in the United States.
