Parents looking for some ways to make their kids eat healthy food in the U.S have something new to try. A new Hip Hop album containing 19 tracks has hit the stands. All 19 tracks contain relevant messages regarding the benefits of consuming healthy food and leading a healthy lifestyle for kids. The album, named” Songs for a Healthier America”, has been primarily designed to help kids to make healthy choices, including eating healthy food and exercising regularly.

Major Highlights

One of the major highlights of this album is the appearance of the first lady Michelle Obama in one of the songs that goes by the lyrics “Everybody”. The creators of the album have edited the first lady’s “let’s move” public service announcement into that particular song. The “Everybody” song sung by Jordin Sparks urges kids to eat healthy food through the lines “You gotta work hard, eat right, feeling good starts on the inside”. This song forms the first track of the album. This song also features Dr.Oz showing his dancing skills. Dr Oz actually announced the creation of this album when he was participating in one of his shows on June 3, 2013. The track “Everybody” was released earlier this week. The entire album containing 18 other tracks would be released in another month.

Reaction from the First Lady’s Office

When contacted regarding the appearance of he first lady in this video, the first lady’s office gave the information that this album project is not actually the project of the first lady. The first lady had given her consent to include her famous lines as the album is solely focused on propagating the importance of staying and eating healthy for kids. She wanted to support the message carried by the various tracks in the album.
