WASHINGTON - First lady Michelle Obama hooped it up for health — hula hooped, that is — managing to an impressive 142 swivels before her hula hoop hit the ground. Jumping rope double dutch? Not so much.

It was all for a good cause — encouraging kids to get more physical activity and eat better.

The first lady hosted a "healthy kids fair" on the South Lawn of the White House on Wednesday and invited about 100 children and parents from local elementary schools.

Chefs demonstrated how to make healthy-but-yummy snacks. And the first lady delivered a pep talk about healthy eating.

She also managed a great imitation of kids' whining about eating their vegetables, and declared, "I don't want to hear it."

Well, OK, for you, Michelle. But I wouldn't stop whining for anyone else. ;-)

We could all use some more veggies in our diet.
