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.

Dream on, MSN.
Total Dicktastership actions.
One look at her gargantuan arse disproves her advocacy for healthy foods.
She’s a man, baby. A man!
She eats the same diet as the peasant children, especially in Hawaii for 17 days.
Ironically, this was a great initiative.....for us.
She demands that schools serve food that the kids wouldn’t eat. It is typical of government. Pass mandates without justifying them.
A corporation would first spend the money convincing consumers of the need for healthier food.
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.
School food that is thrown away is not particularly nutritious either (except for the lucky hog farmer who hauls school lunch trash away). One small example: wheat saltines to go with school soup and chili. They are tasteless (since horrid salt has been removed) and they crumble to dust when when you break them, so all of them go into the trash as well.
Her legacy starving school kids.
You mean they’re going to bury some more fully grown crops so she can come back and pretend to dig them up again?
I have always wondered if she ruined the Hostess fruit pies. I would eat maybe one a year. They changed during the Obama administration and not for the better.
That WideLoad has the least credibility when it comes to nutrition
Actions speak louder than words, FatAss
A non-profit organization… which she helped to create, no less. It sure seems like a lot of non-profit organizations exist to profit in more ways than one. Maybe it is time to - if not drain the swamp - at least tile this particular slough.
The last pic....my mom would’ve slapped me upside the head for eating like that. NO MANNERS!
Teamsters bankrupted Hostess and now the Hostess fruit pies are made by someone else. Also they never brought back the snowballs.
A lot of the school lunches are being financed through the DOD. Some of it is good but a lot is terribly wasteful. Apples, bananas, oranges go uneaten, salads go to waste.
Michelle ...
The same one who likes French fries and milkshakes? And designer burgers? Woof!
