TAMPA --

First Lady Michelle Obama will visit Tampa, Sarasota and Palm Beach today, just as the Republican presidential primary race catches fire in Florida, to talk about healthy eating.

She will join Bob Unanue, president of Goya Foods, and other Latino organizations to promote their nationwide effort to encourage health and wellness, at National Supermarket at Armenia and Waters avenues this morning.

Goya is the nation's largest Hispanic-owned food company, according to the White House announcement.

They'll be promoting Mi Plato, or My Plate, a U.S. Department of Agriculture initiative to help families make healthy meal choices.

Obama will then attend Democratic fundraisers in Sarasota and Palm Beach.
