Michelle Obama Makes History: First to Cover Cooking Light Magazine in 28yrs


The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama is the first person to cover Cooking Light in the publication's 28-year history. The first Lady appears in the March issue, where she among other things, opens up about life inside the White House.

"We're really proud of the changes we've seen across the country—most proud of the fact that it feels like there's a new norm in how families think about food and what's healthy," Michelle says. Although, she admits that there have been challenges along the way. "Change is hard for anybody. And when you're talking about food, food is really personal. So when you're telling people to rethink their dietary habits that they've lived with all their lives, it's really personal," 

Michelle makes sure her family follows a healthy eating plan, courtesy of Sam Kass, President Barack Obama's senior policy advisor for nutrition policy. 

For the Obamas, dinnertime is family time. "We've found that we've been able to have dinner almost every night together, between 6:30 and 7," the First Lady says. "We have a bigger table and somebody else is doing the cooking, but the conversation and the mood and the tone are still the same. It's our most important time of the day," Michelle adds.
