To mark the fifth anniversary of her “Let’s Move!” healthy living initiative for kids, the first lady appears with the yellow-feathered friend from Sesame Street in an online video produced by the comedy site Funny or Die.

The White House said the appearance is meant to promote greater consumption of fruits and vegetables by kids. 

The Funny or Die episode of “Billy on the Street,” hosted by comedian Billy Eichner, is shot in a Safeway grocery store produce section among displays of piled oranges, apples and pears. The first lady, Big Bird and show-regular Elena face off in a trivia game dubbed “Ariana Grande or Eating a Carrot.”
