Now Michelle Obama Wants to Control How You Shop for Groceries
TPNN ^ | July 18, 2014 | By Jennifer Burke

Michelle Obama has been on a quest to change the way Americans eat, like it or not. Her nutritional guidelines for schools has resulted in kids throwing away massive amounts of food, a reduction in school lunch program participation, students, especially athletes, complaining that the food isn’t enough to sustain them during the day, and Special Education programs losing their main fundraising program.

....

Now, Michelle Obama wants to take her nutritional demands from the school system nationwide with major changes being suggested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to nudge Americans to purchase healthier foods. While the “expert panel” had a supposed target of the 47 million Americans, and growing, who are on food stamps, the suggestions will impact everyone who shops at a grocery store. The Washington Free Beacon reported on this attempt by the USDA, using Michelle Obama’s guidelines, to ‘nudge’ consumers on nutritional choices.

....

This plan to ‘nudge’ Americans to make healthier food choices includes high-tech, $30,000 grocery carts, “MyCart grocery cart,” which would help consumers know they have the appropriate amount of government approved food choices. The color-coded cart would have sections with sensors installed to praise the customer when they have a cart filled to its ‘healthy threshold.’ The report cited the cost for changing to the high-tech grocery cart for Safeway, Inc., which has 1,335 stores nationwide, would be $40.05 million.

Soon to be a mandate in a grocery store near you.

Is there *anything* they don't know how to do better than you?

If you don’t you get a public shaming over the store loudspeaker when you go to check out.

includes high-tech, $30,000 grocery carts — that will drive up the price of food beyond what folks can afford and/or drive grocery chains out of business because of unafordablility of buying them.

So outlandish, stupid, authoritarian and expensive that I suspect that someone has lost their mind: Moo-shell (a given), the reporter (!), or maybe both.

Haw - the Regime already does. The price inflation they triggered - which they refuse to even acknowledge - has "control" over what I can afford to buy.

Just make those things off limits for purchase with a gubmint card.
It’s not like the technology isn’t already available.

What are these carts gonna do? Have a recording of Moochie lecturing you?

Stuff a sock in it, Moochelle. I want you to go away. And you can eat whatever you like, just get lost.
