Michelle Obama is the latest famous face to be featured in a "Funny or Die" comedy sketch, making a cameo to promote healthy eating habits.

The first lady used the sketch as a platform to spread anti-obesity awareness. The sketch features a fake movie trailer for "Snackpocalypse," starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Tyler Posey. The sketch is about high school students who become junk food zombies.

Students are promised soda in drinking fountains, pizza parties every day and free junk food. The high school is split into Hunger Games-like factions such as the "Candy Club" and the "Pop Rockers," but Moretz is "different from the others" because she likes eating healthy food. The junk food obsessed students turn into zombies, starting a food fight war, leaving Moretz as the only healthy girl left to battle obesity.

"It's like the more garbage everyone eats, the sicker they get," the school nurse says.

Mortez is "the one" to save the students, breaking into a vending machine filled with healthy food.

The scene cuts to a couch scene where Obama is watching the trailer under a blanket while sharing popcorn with friends. "Don't you hate when trailers give away the whole movie?" she asks while snacking on a carrot. "Can we just watch 'Frozen' again?"

This is not the first time the first lady looked to comedy to promote her anti-obesity cause. She danced alongside Jimmy Fallon for "the evolution of mom dancing" sketch. And she appeared with Will Ferrell for Fallon's "Ew!" sketch, promoting the notion that eating healthy is not ew.

President Obama is no stranger to comedy either, appearing in an interview with funny man Zach Galifianakis for the FoD show "Between Two Ferns" earlier in the year to get more Americans to sign up for health care on the government website.
