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.
Makes sense to me.
Has Moochelle been to a restaurant lately? They are reducing portion sizes...and raising prices. Her husband’s war on the economy has done a lot to reduce our food intake in America.
CONTROL! CONTROL! CONROL!
Does she think barry’s election means she can dictate?
I’m sorry, but I think this hardly qualifies for “breaking news” - oh wait, maybe on the new FR it does; however....
ya, lots of times, I can’t finish it all, and am happy to take leftovers home for a snack or meal.
Is she saying that people eat without thinking; that they will eat everything placed in front of them????
This is getting into nanny state territory. It’s going too far to start to tell restaurants how to run their businesses.
I posted it in Bloggers/Personal. Take it up with the Mods.
Yup, hey Moochelle when you reduce the pro-portions of your fat ass get back to us!!
If that’s all you have to complain about - you don’t need to be here! If it weren’t in breaking I wouldn’t have seen it!
Is that what you want - freepers not seeing - more the crapola coming out of the WH? Is it your desire to protect them somehow?
I think I know why Obama is out of the WH so often and hitting up local burger joints. Who would honestly want be around the bitter half.
Speaking of portion control could we possibly reduce spending???
Large portions are the result of competition, which, of course, Marxists hate.
Late to the party here, but we can manage portion control without her help. I personally like the large portions. I get a doggie bag and have two meals for the price of one.
I can't stand that meddling Marxist. Get out of our lives, it's NOYDB!!!
I’m sure that if I saw the video of your picture it would look like two angry hippos fighting under her skirt.
Is that a dog, or something that fell out her shorts?
If restaurants fall for this, it will open up a market for restaurants who do the opposite.
Michelle, you’re no match for the invisible hand of the free market.
