The former first lady spoke on the podcast 'Not Gonna Lie' with Kylie Kelce
Former first lady Michelle Obama said she can’t believe how controversial her school lunch initiative turned out to be during a recent podcast interview.
“I was trying to be strategic about aligning my agenda with something that was important to the West Wing and I thought, 'There's no way that anyone is going to take issue with trying to make school lunches healthier, getting kids more active,'" Obama said on the podcast, "Not Gonna Lie" with Kylie Kelce, released Thursday.
"Just trying to make the next generation healthier than ours and, boy, was I wrong, which is really interesting in these times with the current Secretary of Health and Human Services [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] who is now saying some of the same things that I was saying," she added.
Kennedy leads the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement and has said that he will push for "radical transparency" on food safetyand removing artificial food dyes, chemicals and preservatives.
