President Obama made a surprise visit to Michelle Obama’s “Kids State Dinner” at the White House today, to encourage all of them to eat healthy.

During his remarks, Obama praised the kid-created “Barack-a-mole” recipe and joked that “Barack-oli” was his favorite vegetable.

“I also noticed that there are a lot of good vegetables on the menu, including my favorite vegetable ‘Barack-oli,’” he cracked.

“It’s true, I love broccoli, I eat it all the time,” he insisted.
