Former first lady Michelle Obama on Friday bashed critics who complain that kids don't like the healthier food served under the school meal changes implemented during the Obama administration.
"How about we not let kids completely guide everything?" she said, speaking at the annual summit on childhood obesity for the Partnership for a Healthier America. "How about we stop asking kids how they feel about their food? Kids, my kids included, if they could eat pizza and french fries every day with ice cream on top and a soda, they would think they were happy, until they got sick.
"That to me is one of the most ridiculous things we talk about in this movement, that the kids aren't happy. Well, you know what? Kids don't like math, either. So what are we going to do, stop teaching math? We gonna cut history out because there are kids who are bored with history? We are the adults in the room, you know? They look to us. So let's just stop with that. I'm good if kids are mad at me."
When asked about the possibility about delaying the nutrition labels requirements, Obama replied: "Keep families ignorant. That's all I'm hearing. You don't need to know what's in your food. You can't handle that, mom. Just buy this, be quiet, spend your money … I would be highly insulted by that thought. You want to talk about nanny state and government intervention? You just buy the food and be quiet. You don't need to know what's in it. That's essentially what a move like this is saying to you, mom."

Let’s let the 220lb perpetually angry adult, Michelle O., dictate the diets of healthy and active children.
Yeah, we had lunches like that at my high school.
Then we all went out on the deck and smoked Cuban cigars and drank Mai Tais whilst the faculty put on live entertainment for us. My high school girlfriend, Morgan Fairchild, can back me up on that.
Must be nice to go to a private school with the real lunch menu for the kids. That definitely doesn’t match the menu that schools adopted from Michelle such as here in Reno Nevada. I really wonder if Michelle Obama ever ate any of the lunches around the country that we created based on her idiotic pronouncements?
So called “adults” like Moochelle should be put in a rubber room.
I guess it’s because of smaller budgets that lunches today are garbage. Back in the day, ours were pretty good. Not 5 star but made by farm mamas with real ingredients. You can’t talk to anyone from my little podunk school who’s eyes don’t go all dreamy remembering the smell of from scratch hot yeast rolls with real butter or giant peanut butter cookies baking wafting through the halls (no one died!). No dried out chicken nuggets for us but lemon pepper chicken with real chicken pieces. No canned fruit cocktail but fresh apple slices with a side of peanut butter and honey or a piece of that fabulous government cheese.
If it’s not the budget, then it’s the too easy access to tvp and prepackaged frozen garbage that’s nuked 5 minutes before the lunch bell.
When I was a case manager my boss made me visit any of our clients who were in the prison outside the city every 2 weeks-and I ate in the cafeteria there-the food served in that prison was 5 star restaurant fare compared to what Michelle insisted be served to kids at schools...
But that he’s the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the United States.
What we have here is a gray area with a black lady in the middle of it.
Anyone who expects a school to feed their kids has no business complaining about the sh!t that gets dished out to them.
“Yeah, that fat cow feels a need to tell kids how to eat.”
Yeah, she has an a$$ like a government mule! Guess she had too many chitlins as a chile herself.
.................
Spoken like the math phobic she probably is. Lots of kids do like math. They often end up the logical, clear thinkers as adults. Remember, liberals feeeeel. Conservatives think, as well as have real feelings.
Michele needs to be shipped back to her home planet.
When I went to school the lunches weren’t that bad (not as good as you describe) but we were kids and it was institutional food. We were picky and the food wasn’t great.
But on Fridays they made pizza and they had to make enough for seconds for nearly everyone. Nothing like pizzeria pizza but we loved it and a second slab of it was only 50 cents or something like that.
Children are not responsible enough to decide what to eat. However, they are mature enough to make decisions about sex.
Spoken like the math phobic she probably is.
It is patently obvious she can not count, otherwise she wouldn’t be eating 10,000 calories a day. Forget about the fact that the foods she recommended are going to cause numerous health problems with the victims of her Diabetes and Heart Disease promoting Diet.
Moochelle is crazy!
You cannot MAKE people eat, Mrs. Obama. And We the People won’t eat your stupid meals no matter what, just because!! And we won’t let our kids eat them either.
