After focusing on serving healthy foods in schools as the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama is now taking on the challenge of launching a new Netflix children's food show.

The new show, called "Waffles + Mochi," launches March 16 and will be "all about good food: discovering it, cooking it, and of course, eating it."

"Waffles and Mochi" will take children on an adventure around the world finding new ingredients and recipes.

"In many ways, this show is an extension of my work to support children’s health as First Lady—and to be quite honest, I wish a program like this had been around when my girls were young," Obama wrote in a post on Instagram.

1. Good for her!

2. I wish there were programs in public schools for elementary students

with a combination of diet, food preparation, and how to eat healthy on a budget.

4. Great idea!!!

Why they don't teach this, along with human growth & development & intro psych is beyond me.

5. Healthy eating should start in childhood...

this is a much needed show in our country. Michelle Obama should be lauded for bringing the attention to this.

7. Yes, she should!

She is smart enough to recognize the importance of proper nutrition so that kids can self-actualize!
