US First lady hula hoops, roots for health

United States' First Lady Michelle Obama hula hooped for health on Wednesday, managing to get in an impressive 142 swivels before her hula hoop hit the ground. The First Lady was hosting a "healthy kids fair" on the South Lawn of the White House, inviting around 100 children and parents from local elementary schools, for an afternoon of fun-filled physical activity and encouraging children to eat better. During Wednesday's fair, Michelle Obama delivered a pep talk about eating well, while chefs demonstrated how to make healthy but delicious snacks. Obama told the children it was OK to have treats, as long as they usually ate the right kind of foods to maintain a balanced diet.
