In an effort to promote her campaign against childhood obesity, Michelle Obama is releasing a new hip-hop album entitled Songs for a Healthier America. The album, which features Ashanti, Matisyahu, Travis Barker, and Jordin Sparks on songs with titles such as "U R What You Eat" and "We Like Vegetables," is scheduled to be released in September.
