US First Lady Michelle Obama cajoled TV talk show host Jay Leno into nibbling on apples, sweet potato fries and a pizza made with eggplant, green peppers and zucchini on the Tonight Show, breaking his long-held aversion for all-things-healthy in his diet. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/feb/greenobama.jpg" border="5" /> Healthy laughs: Michelle cajoled the host into trying out some apples and sweet potato fries after Leno said he hadn't eaten a vegetable since 1969. pic/afp Obama earlier poked fun at him in a Twitter post, hinting she would "get Jay to eat some veggies" on the NBC show. He did. "That does smell very good. I assume this is sausage-pepperoni," the comedian quipped as he eyed the pizza made with a whole-wheat crust. She convinced Leno to dip an apple in honey made from beehives in the White House garden: "It will help it go down easier," she assured him. She swooned over her husband's singing saying he sang a bit of little Marvin Gaye. "He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time," she told Leno.
