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.

Your average shopping cart today at $165 with annual maintenance of maybe $20.

Your Mooch-approved "nudge you" shopping cart...$30,000 with annual maintenance at $5,000.

Obola..."If you like your low-price groceries, you can keep your low-price groceries."

Yeah, right.

I would, too!

I really don’t like to shop, period. But I especially don’t like to grocery shop.

If Michelle gets her way with talking carts and food restrictions in grocery stores I can forsee a future war zone at the Winn Dixie.

Sorry, I don't take advice or directions from the mentally ill.

That would include homosexuals, transvestites, and those that choose to mutilate their genitals out of illness.

That about cover it for the current regime?

Short of ending food stamps altogether I’m all for restricting purchases to meat, grains, produce, and dairy.

Call it The Great People’s Cultural Revolution of school lunches, brought to you by Michelle Tse-Tung.

That pretty much says it all.
