WASHINGTON-- First Lady Michelle Obama is expected Thursday to announce headway in her drive to have restaurants reduce portion sizes, part of her "Let's Move' campaign against obesity.

"The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report"--commissioned as part of Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" project, "specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible." below, from White House....

UPCOMING GUIDANCE FOR FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA

Thursday, September 15 11:45 AM - First Lady Michelle Obama will make a major Let's Move! announcement related to providing healthier choices and greater variety for families in restaurants - a critical piece of ending the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation. One of every two dollars spent on food is spent in restaurants, and over one-third of calories consumed in America are eaten at restaurants. The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible." This event will be held in Hyattsville, MD and space is limited.

Michelle needs to keep her nose out of our kitchens and lives. She needs to look in a mirror.

Moochelle returns to the hangar after the C-17 cargo door finally found something that would not fit through its massive opening.

Just thinking about that and the First Dude - it seems like a different world - normalcy, patriotism, cut the gov’t and some agencies, companies hiring, wall street goes up, investigations of the former administration, children being giving hope for their future, no death panels for the elderly - America has been rescued and then restored. It is all possible.

Go SARAH!

“Cut my serving; and I’ll go somewhere else to eat next time.”

Cut my serving of veggies, good meat, and a nice starch and I’ll be much more likely to fill the gap with a sugary, fat-loaded dessert and the rest of the rolls and butter.

Socialists have always had trouble with humans making choices.

She should have lunch with Ben Bernanke. The Fed has a better way of getting restaurants to reduce their portion size ;)

Hey, big butt Michelle, it is not illegal to take home the food you don’t it at the restaurant and make another meal of two out of it. There is a $13.95 dish at a local Mexican restaurant that I get that makes at least two more meals for me at home.

Michelle’s butt is as large as the combined posteriors of the two hotties.

“Let’s Move”? How about Obummer and Moochele adopt this slogan themselves and “move” right out of the WH and back to Chicago.

Somebody should “prod” Michele to “reduce her portion size”.

What kind of prod, I won’t say, but...!

that would require one of the 0bama's to actually open and run a business and have some business sense

That would necessitate those lazy ghetto shuckin' and jiven grifters to get off their lazy fat butts and do some work. Never happen. They've hit the motherload and will milk us until they die. And that's liable to be a long, long time.
