原文

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is launching a cooking show on Netflix.

Geared toward a younger audience, it will feature two puppets and Obama as a supermarket owner. The show will chronicle their journey as they try to become chefs.

The theme of the show closely aligns with Obama's "Let's Move!" public health campaign, which was aimed at curbing childhood obesity.

As one of her signature platforms, she tried to lead initiatives that helped families get access to healthy, affordable foods and increase their physical activities.
