WH picks new director for healthy eating campaign

The White House on Thursday announced first lady Michelle Obama’s pick to lead her campaign for kids to eat healthier, saying Debra Eschmeyer would take over a post that has increasingly come under fire in Republican circles.

“For more than a decade, Deb has been leading the way in teaching kids about the importance of healthy eating,” the first lady said. “From classrooms and gardens to kitchens and farms, Deb has made learning about nutrition fun and accessible for kids across the country.”

Eschmeyer will take over the position of executive director of the Let’s Move campaign, as well as senior adviser for nutrition policy, recently vacated by Sam Kass, Obama’s former personal chef.

She will step immediately into a simmering political feud with Republicans, as some conservatives have argued that the first lady’s efforts have caused school districts to lose money. Critics argue that students don’t want to eat the healthy meals offered as part of the first lady’s reforms.

I take that as a yes that you’d hit on her but you wouldn’t stick around for dinner.

I suppose all first ladies take on a theme just like they were some sort of beauty queen vying for the title of “miss America.” It is obnoxious.

I agree. Most First Ladies adopt some type of feel-good cause during their stay in the White House. However, I don't think others have hired a staff to promote their particular issue. How much is this woman being paid, and who is paying her salary? (as if we didn't know.)

Wonder whether Barack Obama refers to the “Food Corps” as the “Food Corpse”...

“Kumquat” is something a Southern girl says when her parents are upstairs asleep.

Just clicking around on some links to her and Food Corpse dot org I see this is just another manifestation of the ACORN and PIRG infestation. A bunch of zealots just bursting with enthusiasm to employ the government to help us good and hard.
