First Lady Links Childhood Obesity to National Security in Launch of ‘Let’s Move’ Campaign

Hey, Michelle, why don't you and Barry start by Moving Out of the White House?

[Freedom56v2]

Thanks for pointing out. I actually did a title search and nothing was returned. Weird.

[Freedom56v2]

Dang. I was hoping the “Let’s Move” Campaign involved her and Barry and Indonesia.

I’d get off the FR forum to help em move! ;)

That fat slob has no right telling anyone what to eat!

[rosco coltrain]

Get ready for the Potato chip/donut federal tax,coming soon to a socialist republic near you.

the problem is that kids don’t want salmon whether it is farm raised or wild. Coconut oil? Not everyone likes the taste of coconut. They want their big macs and mac and cheese and all that other crap. The healthy stuff is also much more expensive.

Remember Hitler encouraged healthy living to. And we saw how that ended up.

Coconut oil is what made movie popcorn taste so good in the old days. The food police forced theaters to switch to canola oil, and now movie popcorn tastes like crap. Unless you cover it with lots of butter-flavored oil.

What I’m saying is that the notion of ‘healthy eating’ changes all the time. Whatever Michelle decides kids should eat now, is not necessarily any better for them than the stuff she’s replacing. Also, the school lunch program is just a government boondoggle to cycle through federal dollars. Kids would be eating healthier and less expensively if they were given McDonald’s Happy Meals for lunch instead of school cafeteria food.

Just temporarily, I'll bet. :)

If giving up FR would ensure that they moved away from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (preferably to some friendly foreign land like say, Venezuela), I would make the ultimate sacrifice and give up FR ;)

Yikes! Didn’t end up very well for anyone in Germany. ;(

That’s about it! ;(
I do wonder what strings will inevitably be tied to the student loan program in the future. Very disturbing.

No doubt the public schools will be recruited to *help* this cause by being forced to report obese children so parents can be contacted and *helped* in their efforts to trim their children’s weight.

You know what this means......

[metmom]

It’s just about more control. I don’t really think they’re concerned with how fit the worker bees are cause with unlimited immigration there will always be more to fill in the ranks.

Did I beat you in cynical?

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

A threat to our national security? No Michelle the people your husband is bowing to are a threat to our national security. Fat kids are not. Oops I said fat and that’s not very PC.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Freerepublic officially needs a like button!!!!! :)

[metmom]

I tried a search as well when I saw the article on FOX. It took me some time to find even this one.

FR’s search engine didn’t come up with anything. Google’s was better but still not easy.
