Michelle Obama Challenges Children to Cook Fruit and Vegetables on MasterChef Junior

During her eight years as first lady, nutrition was one of Michelle Obama's main focuses. Michelle lobbied for regulations to public school lunches, which the federal government approved. The regulations included stricter standards on the amount of salt in food, and using whole wheat grains.

After the new standards were in place, the School Nutrition Association, a nonprofit professional organization that represents over 57,000 members that work in school food service, said students were refusing to eat the healthy lunches. This led to higher costs and food waste. Schools could choose to get rid of the program, but then they would be subject to federal subsidy cuts.

Despite the rejection of her school lunch standards, Mrs. Obama has apparently not been deterred in her efforts to get kids to eat healthier.

>>Can anyone tell me just who Michelle Obama is???<<

Some fat, ugly guy who is married to some dude that was almost important.

What I like about the junior shows is the sportsmanship shown by the kids. The adults could learn a thing or two.

Did you see Shane’s face when she came on the huge monitor? All the girls were acting like well little girls. Shane stood there with a “yeah so” look.

Despise them. That goes double for any cooking/ kids shtick.

Did she say this while wearing her 10,000 cheeseburger tuchis?

Boys squealing too. Shane isn’t impressed unless he is cooking meat. Forget the vegetables

I'd love to see Heck’s Kitchen but, unfortunately, brats don't generally own restaurants. I can't stand watching the tykes hack away at expensive meat and beautiful vegetables on Chopped Junior - and, with all the guile of their upper-middleclass upbringing - referring to themselves as “chef”!

The most recent photos of Michelle reveal a massive weight gain. She’s lost the motivation to diet while out of public eye. She will be a laughing stock if she keeps this up.
