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.
This woman is trying to get restaurants to give us less food for our money? Well that’s real nice of you moochelle. Found a really good way to spend your time as first lady huh?
There are few people who are getting fat by eating restaurant food. Most people don’t have that kind of money to be eating out all the time. This is another case of the liberal mind living in the fantasy world of the unicorn farm.
Hey, Michelle! Get a grip. You are the pot calling the kettle black.

Honest to gosh - does anyone remember seeing any of our other first ladies photographed while eating?
Just what is MO attempting to telegraph???
I hope the Restaurant Association comes out soon with a negative response to MO’s ‘suggested’ portion size.
And sends out an edict banning her from all restaurants for 5 years, and makes her repent.
P U S H B A C K - TELL HER OFF.
LOL!

Best picture of all.
New AF1?
“Big bottoms....Big bottoms....Talk about bum cakes, Moochelle’s got ‘em....”
Michelle’s husband’s policies have accomplished this.
Restaurants have been reducing portions in order to keep prices consistent. So have general food companies.
Mission accomplished.
I can’t wait for oil prices to drop and the stock market to go up, as soon as that commie Hussein is voted out.
I should rent “The Undefeated” again on PPV. Saw it a few weeks ago on The Dish. It’s still listed as of last night.
Wait a second, my husband wasn’t home to see it the first time I rented it....tonight he gets to see Sarah and what she did in Alaska. He doesn’t know much about her, and thinks it’s “cute” how much I like her!!! ARG! It’s not cute, it’s saving America from total destruction!
Yeah, if I have to tie him to the LazyBoy, he’s watching “The Undefeated” tonight.
Hee Hee.
Some speculated she would announce Sept 17th on Constitution Day. I wonder.
Then there is also some kind of contract with Fox News that has to expire too although I don’t know when.
Whatever it is, making her decide to wait, I wish it would stop already.
I am glad she was not at the first bunch of debates.
But I am ready for her to announce now, and get in there and fight.
We’ll all get together on FR and celebrate when she announces.
Cheers!
“Prodding” restaurants seems tantamount to telling them what they can serve, how much they can serve.
Wonder if there will be federal incentives. This sets a really bad precedent :(
More Accurately: Michelle Obama prodding restaurants to INCREASE their Price per Portion!
I think it will be too tight to fit Mooch-elle’s arse which covers two time zones.
Because dining out is getting so expensive, when we go out we share, since we’re not big eaters anyway. The protions are perfect for two people.
Has anyone checked to see if Michelle Obama did indeed say at the 911 Memorial, “All this for a flag?”
stooopid cow...(audible groan)
“I’m just here for the hilarious pictures of Mrs. Oblubba...please continue to post at will.”
I second that...
It will mean more food for her!
Bbbut I thought she was a Wookie!
