Michelle Obama Continuing Health Campaign With Netflix Original Series
Michelle Obama has announced her most recent project with Netflix as apart of her “Let’s Move!” campaign.
The former first lady stars in the original series, “Waffles + Mochi,” and also serves as an executive producer. This show is apart of her and former President Barack Obama’s multi-year producing deal they have with Netflix.
"With the help of friendly new faces like the supermarket owner, Mrs. Obama, and a magical flying shopping cart as their guide, Waffles and Mochi blast off on global ingredient missions, traveling to kitchens, restaurants, farms and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebrities," Netflix said in a statement describing the show.
The 10-episode series will be available on March 16 on the streaming platform.
Her “Let’s Move!” health campaign is focused on solving childhood obesity, which she launched in 2010 during her stint as First Lady.
With this campaign, she's helped change the nutrition standards in U.S. schools, which included healthier meals and snacks, helped modernize the Nutrition Faces for food labels, launched "MyPlate," made the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables easier and included salad bars in schools and increased physical activity in schools.
Other programs that’ll be coming to Netflix from the Obama’s include “Exit West,” “Satellite,” “Tenzing,” “The Young Wife,” “Firekeeper’s Daughter” and “Great National Parks.”
