It is something that I have enjoyed doing for the last nine and a half months that we’ve been in office, and that is to come around to the agencies, all the departments throughout Washington, and just to meet all of you and to make sure that you know, on behalf of the White House and our family, that we are so grateful for the work that you do. And when I come here, I come to listen, to ask questions, to use the information, the insight that I get from these visits, and take it back to the White House, to the West Wing, but also to help it inform the kinds of things that I do in my role as First Lady, because I know that many of you have spent a lifetime here devoting entire careers — some of you a few years, but many of you for decades — have spent your time devoted to the issues that are so important to this nation. Simply adjusting how we eat, like trying to cook one or two meals at home each week — not every week, that’s crazy — (laughter) — but one or two meals; switching from soda to water — pretty simple; adding a vegetable or a fruit to a dinner plate, making that more the meal than the meat or the rice; and paying a little more attention to what’s on the labels — again, not totally evaporating your way of being as you know it today, just little changes — and finding a way to get more exercise into all of our lives, including our kids. The conversations that you can have — not just in your own families and your communities, but the communities that you work with, the folks that you come in contact through the work that you do — all of these little conversations, the steady drumbeat of small changes, make a difference.
