Michelle Obama said Thursday that the U.S. has undergone a “culture change” in the five years since she started raising awareness about childhood obesity. But as she celebrated achievements on multiple fronts, the first lady also warned that the progress that’s been made is “incredibly fragile.”
That’s because special interests “whose first priority is not our kids’ health” are “waiting for us to get complacent or bored and move on to the next trendy issue,” Mrs. Obama said at an annual health summit. She cited the fight over a recent child nutrition law as an example.
“Even today, some folks are still arguing that we just can’t afford to serve our kids healthy food, that it’s too expensive,” she said in a reference to Obama administration requirements that more fresh produce and whole grains be served in schools.
Many schools have adopted the standards but others contend they aren’t working and have lobbied Congress to weaken them. Schools must follow government nutrition rules if they accept federal reimbursements for free and reduced-price meals for low-income students. …

Ugh. It was bad enough to have Obama. Why must we suffer this tub of lard as well?
“Creating bogeymen and strawmen...”
Maybe she’s the one who taught Barry how to do it so well.

Poor Mooch.
Millions of evil Americans plotting to undermine her “progess”
We’ll be hearing her preach for another 40 years, aaarghhhhh
Tomorrow we are making fried chicken, in lard, of course.
Wonderful stuff!
Just finished a burger, after grinding fresh burger - just prior to grilling it - and had the burgers on freshly baked buns (baked in our kitchen).
NO preservatives, no Michelle O crap.
Just good food.
She treats herself to waygu steak, while public school kids get what look like table scraps (without the first ‘s’).

The “culture change” from buying food with money earned to buying food with EBT cards...
Moochelle’s school lunch program has cost schools/taxpapers more money than the benefits students have received, because many students have dumped their trays of the Moochelle-approved crap into the trash.
Literally $millions of wasted dollars because another Liberal had an idea that looked good on paper but turned into another EPIC FAIL.
When I was a kid, women might gain 10 to 20 lbs. by old age....today, after all this low fat crap diets....we have serious obesity everywhere. I will forgo her advice...thanks, but no thanks. They are all clueless.
This appears to be a national security risk. There must be something in the White Hut causing its occupants to become delusional.

My kids had scrambled eggs, yogurt, and turkey for lunch. They usually eat leftovers. You let the government raise your kids, you’d better like what the gov feeds them.
One in five kids is on food stamps...Obviously the reason we have an obesity problem is because we pay people to eat.

I’ll be having myself airdropped in around 5 pm tomorrow. Shall I bring biscuits, or corn on the cob?

Her food culture hasn’t changed, though.
