Michelle Obama Invites Celebrity Chefs To Harvest Vegetables At White House (Video)

Michelle Obama hosted several celebrities chefs at the White House garden, including Rachael Ray and Cat Cora, to harvest vegetables with school children to prepare a meal for the group to eat. Unfortunately, not every part of the meal was vegetarian, but the First Lady encouraged the chefs to help schools nationwide plant gardens.
About 900 chefs are signed up in the “Chefs Move to Schools” program, which pairs chefs with school communities to teach children and parents cooking skills and nutrition.
“You know more about food than almost anyone, other than the grandmas, and you’ve got the visibility and the enthusiasm to match that knowledge,” said Mrs. Obama during a speech.
The actual footage of the chefs and children harvesting vegetables from the garden takes place around minute 19:00.
