Michelle Obama will be ceding the title of first lady to Melania Trump next month, but she may hold for some time the other distinction she earned during her time in the White House: America's best known advocate for healthy food.
The non-profit organization she helped create as first lady, Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), where she is honorary chair, will continue its work convincing food companies to improve nutrition content and labeling of products, the group said.
"Michelle Obama has been a tremendous leader in this space," said Larry Soler, president and chief executive of the group. "That legacy is going to continue for a long time after this."
When President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress take over on Jan. 20, lawmakers are expected to take aim at what one of them has called "burdensome new rules" on food. School lunches and menu labeling standards are likely to be among the changes that may come under fire.
Trump, a self-professed fan of junk food, has not been explicit on what he plans to do with food policy, although he campaigned for the Nov. 8 election on a broad promise to undo regulations on business.

All I remembered was all these kids not wanting to eat such bad or little food.
“Michelle Obama has been a tremendous leader in this space,”
And her butt was a leader in every ones space.
That ass is her food legacy...and it ain’t goin’ nowhere.
But I wondered which came first. A change in the recipe, or the Teamsters action causing the bankruptcy and the consequential sale to another company? Since I only eat about one a year, did she help move them toward bankruptcy by helping to ruin a product? I really don’t remember when I noticed the change.
PAVE Moochelle’s Vegetable Garden. . . .
Hopefully public school cafeterias will stop starving the students.
I only ate the snowballs once a year. I know they went away after the Teamsters problem so do not know when the fruit pie change came about.
Cardboard is healthy? Whowouldathunkit?
They seem to be 99% filling free now. As with many things these days whatever they changed, change it back.
i have no doubts she will continue to stuff her pie hole
They used to be baked and delivered locally. Now I suspect they are baked centrally and frozen for shipping.
She can’t even stop her husband from smoking.
Lobster and kobe beef is her legacy.
Mrs. Trump should tear that garden down and plant grass so that nothing is left to remember.
Exactly. What a hypocrite. She just did it for her own stupid legacy. Thank God we will have a classier and hotter FL. This time a human, not a sasquatch.

I imagine that Melanie knows a thing or two about healthy eating. ;)
Last Wednesday, Sasha Obama's school lunch menu was Pumpkin Sage Soup, Pear & Pomegranate Salad, Butternut & Cranberry Salad, Holiday Menu (whatever that is), Roast Beef au Jus, Tree top Casserole, Roasted Acorn Squash, Mashed Potatoes and Holiday Dessert. Can't imagine why Sidwell Friends School has taken down all but about half a dozen of their dishes.
Interesting that Sidewell Friends menu for Pearl Harbor Day has a Japanese/Asian theme.
You spend a percentage of your food budget for fruit and give it to your kids as an afternoon snack. It’s the two in the afternoon hunger after lunch. An hour later they come to tell you they are hungry, fruit doesn’t satisfy long, and dinner isn’t until 6pm or so. Your money doesn’t cover it for thirty days. What’s your solution Mike?
