Michelle Obama Makes Jay Leno Eat Vegetables [Video]

Michelle Obama has made it her first priority as the first lady to make America a healthier place. Last night on The Tonight Show she continued her crusade by convincing Jay Leno to add a few more vegetables to his daily meals.

Yahoo! reports that Leno is a notorious unhealthy eater. The talk show host once told a magazine that he hasn’t eaten vegetable since 1969 and that the last time he had an apple was in 1984.

Michelle eased Leno into his first vegetable by giving him a piece of pizza.

Michelle said:

“I have a challenge for you. It’s a veggie pizza. This is a good way for people of your… ilk, to incorporate vegetables into their diet.”

Here’s the video from NBC.

Michelle also talked about her “gorgeous” husband, his grey hair, and his newly discovered singing talents.

Michelle said:

“He’s definitely aging. But he’s gorgeous… He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time.”

Finally, Jay Leno and Michelle talked about the upcoming election.

“I don’t worry too much about it now. Once they pick a candidate I’ll start paying more attention.”
