So there's a Times article in today's paper about how awesome Michelle Obama is. Well.... actually it's about how she's trying to promote people eating fresh and locally grown produce by promoting it in soup kitchens and the White House. It's pretty awesome. 

Here's a quote by the great lady herself (as written by author Rachel Swarns):
