CHICAGO — First lady Michelle Obama said Tuesday that parents can’t be expected to give their children healthy food if they don’t have good options for groceries nearby.

Obama, who is leading a nationwide effort to lower childhood obesity rates, spoke at a Chicago Walgreens store that had expanded to include fresh produce and grocery staples. She called it an example for other parts of the city and the country.

Obama’s address was the closing remarks to a mayors summit on expanding urban food options.
