During her brief visit to London, Mrs Obama enjoyed tea with Prince Harry and had an affectionate reunion with David and Samantha Cameron on the steps of 10 Downing Street.
At the restaurant in Milan on Wednesday, Mrs Obama spoke about the importance of eating as a family and said that the First family sits down together to dine each night but admitted that sometimes the President eats his meal too quickly, ABC News reported.
'We've preserved our family dinner time. No matter what the president is doing, between 6.30pm and 7pm, he stops.
'We come up, we sit down, we have a meal,' she told students assembled at the restaurant.
'You're actually tasting it and you probably eat less because you're not just shoveling. Shoveling is probably not a good thing. We don't shovel.'
