CNS News ^ | 11/14/11 | Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) - Visiting an organic farm in Hawaii on Saturday, First Lady Michelle Obama said that “arugula and steak” was her “favorite” meal and expressed her view that American children need to “get their palates adjusted” so they will begin eating properly.

Mrs. Obama also said that children in “underserved communities” become obese because they “aren’t growing up with vegetables because there are no grocery stores.”

The first lady was participating in a roundtable discussion at the Ma’o Organic Farms in Waianae, Hawaii. During the discussion, according to the White House transcript of the event, she said that she had started a vegetable garden at the White House to teach young people how to eat.

“But one of the primary reasons we planted the garden was as a form of education,” said Mrs. Obama.

It’s almost comical how this decidedly overweight and steatopygous First Mooch would dare tell Americans that they’re overweight. If this rather rotund and porcine example would gaze into a mirror, she might stop telling us that our kids are too fat.

It’s bizarre to hear her ramble on like this when she needs a couple weeks (if not more) on a treadmill somewhere.

How funny. Paula Deen remaked how Michelle’s favorite meal is fried shrimp. And she ate Deen out of house and home. Then again, “healthy food” is for the little people. Not the annointed elite. Just think about how many fatass liberals there are.

I gues I too live in an “underserved community” because no one around here has ever heard of arugula.

When I had an iron deficiency, my DR told me that I should eat more steak. My kids wanted to know how much I bribed my DR to say that.
Rats, it is to late to get out the grill tonight.

This over-weight and bulbous FLOTUS (should be called a BLOATUS) is an absolute joke preaching about we Americans being overweight just like her asshat husband collectively this last weekend calling all Americans "lazy."

They're a couple of sleazy grifters with absolutely no common sense of reality or purpose. Just like Billary and Hitlery, I feel so very sorry for their children . . . well, Webster Hubbell's daughter Chelsea.

So, in just a couple of days, we Americans have been called FAT and LAZY per the residents of our White House. What a disgusting pair of slobs! I can't wait to throw his skinny and her fat ass out of our building.

Can you just imagine any other president and his wife in our American History who would dare call ALL their citizens FAT by Her Royal Hind-Ass and LAZY by the Kenyon muslim imposter in just a couple of days, and this from a couple of grifters who've never had a meaningful job anywhere in our great country. I am so ashamed of these two jerks!

I think the question she should be asking is WHY there are no grocery stores in the urban areas. Could it by chance be that the retailers can only take so much of a loss before they have to close up shop? When you see armed guards at the doors it is not a good sign.

Hubby and I make pretty good money and I admit, we eat well, but I had never even heard of arugula until these two.
