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 hate diversity workshops. “Real change comes from having enough comfort to be really honest and say something very uncomfortable.

I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook. It's not something they need. It's not necessary.

I'm not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business. But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love.

Clearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

Being president isn't anything like reality TV.

I don't, as my mom would say, sweat the small stuff in our relationship. Because when I think of day-to-day irritations that you might have with the one you love, they're nothing compared to the bigger task at hand.
