Obama Steals Food From The Poor To Pay For Michele’s ‘Let’s Move’ Program

Millions of food stamp recipients are finding their government supplement smaller this month. The federal government made sizeable cuts to the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) otherwise known as food stamps. This cut will affect 47.6 million Americans or about 1 out of every 6 people.
Under the new guidelines, a family of 4 will see their food stamps drop from $668 a month to $632 a month. While $36 dollars doesn’t sound like a lot, it’s the equivalent of 2-4 meals per family per month.
In New York City alone, there are about 1.9 million people receiving food stamps. According to one source, the cuts to the SNAP program will result in the equivalent of 76 million meals disappearing from the tables of New York’s poor.
Part of the money taken away from food stamps is being diverted to Michele Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ anti-obesity program. How much money is going to Michele’s program? Would you believe that $4.5 billion is going towards her Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which is part of the Let’s Move program? Instead of turkey with all of the trimmings for Thanksgiving, Michele’s program is pushing things like vegan black bean patties, organic lacovore quinoa salad and bean sprouts. Now doesn’t that sound yummy?

...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Uh huh! Sure thing! More like 3 cases of Colt 45!

Everybody know that Michelle is such lard butt LOL!
This, along with everything wrong about deathcare should be used as clubs over the head of every democrat every single day. Make it hurt them, make them squirm EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DAY!
The irony of the article is that it point out we are giving billions of dollars in free food to people who’s biggest health issue is obesity.
Huh? What the heck is that?
If they're too fat, then cutting a few meals out should be a good thing.
organic lacovore quinoa salad
