Kids, everybody can get behind. It's a bipartisan thing. We care about our kids' health. But the truth is, it's very important for us to talk to parents, in particular mothers, because it's really our self-esteem, it's our initiative.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

It should be fun introducing kids to fruits and vegetables. If you start young, it will be something that they'll attach to really quickly.

I've always tried to make sure that what I do really connects with the broader agenda of what my husband is trying to do.

Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.

I always encourage people to start in their own personal universe, because sometimes we as parents start thinking about the big picture. How do I change what's happening in my entire school? And how do I do it in my community? And then you get overwhelmed and it's just like, "Forget it, I'll just stay here in my kitchen and wait." But, start small.

We're starting to see, as the economy improves, that the unemployment rate among veterans and military spouses - we're seeing some improvement in those numbers. And that's a good thing.
