While in Asia Hawaii last week, First Lady Michelle Obama sat down for a roundtable discussion with Ma’o Organic Farms. Mrs. Obama has made tackling childhood obesity her issue of choice, and has worked hard to ensure that McDonald’s only puts 14 French fries into each Happy Meal.
During the course of the visit, Mrs. Obama revealed that steak and arugula is her favorite meal, and that we should be feeding it to our kids in order to adjust their palates. She said, "People don't have that connection. If they get their palates adjusted to those very interesting flavors, they stay connected."
She went on to say that children in ‘underserved communities’ become overweight because they “aren’t growing up with vegetables because there are no grocery stores.”
The First Lady seems to be just a wee bit confused ... it’s over-serving, not under-serving, that causes obesity. When people take in more calories than their bodies need to function, the extra energy is stored as fat. When people do this on a regular basis, the fat builds up and eventually causes obesity. It’s not exactly rocket science.
Back to the issue at hand: Getting kids to expand their palates by feeding them steak and arugula. With what money does she suggest people purchase those goodies? Personally, my kids aren’t allowed to eat steak, because it’s a rare treat for their dad and me.
We’re too busy paying for $4 a gallon gasoline because President Obama won’t drill for oil. Our water bill has doubled over the last couple of years because liberals in California shut a huge supply of our water off. Our health insurance rates have sky-rocketed, thanks to “new regulations” as our insurer so delicately pointed out in a letter sent to inform us of the price increase.
And Michelle Obama says, “Let them eat steak??”
She is completely out of touch with reality. During this same meeting, she mentioned the vegetable garden that she planted at the White House, and how it’s supposed to be a form of education for young people, to get them to form healthy habits from a young age. This would be the same garden that she tended in her $495 Tory Burch boots, aka her ‘gardening shoes.’
It’s great to want to feed kids lovely organic vegetables and beef from grass-fed cows that were massaged daily by Japanese farmers to tenderize their meat, but that isn’t practical for most people.
If the First Lady wants to be effective in getting people to make healthier food choices, she’s going to have to get a clue about what it’s like to live and raise kids in the real world.
And if she really believes that things like soda and junk food cause obesity, she should campaign to end the use of food stamps for Papa John’s and 7-Eleven. It seems like a cruel joke to tell poor people to eat steak and arugula, then give them ‘free’ money to spend on Coke and take-out food.
*gak*
*ptuuiee!*
MO needs to go suck eggs. No one likes her, no one cares.
America don’t NEED no steenken MO!!!
1. Fiber-packed carb’s
2. Lean protein
3. Healthy fats
All you need to know.
It is obvious we need to subsidize free filets and rib eyes for the poor.
I wish she’s worry more about what comes out of her husband’s pie-hole and less about what goes into everybody elses!
I eat steak, but is the Arugula the reason she has such a fat ass?
These "children in under-served communities" she's talkin' about are those with no fathers identified, or in the home, and are welfare-increasing-dependents to fund the Mother's lifestyle of slut-hood, crack, stylin', etc., in Public Housing. (see tagline)
Their EBT cards aren't used for food, they're sold or traded for cash and/or drugs. Kids grow up on the street, and the 4th Generation Welfare crowd is headed for the 5th Generation Welfare crowd.
Actually, a lean cut of steak and a salad is a very healthy meal - it avoids the carbs we usually eat with it.
I’d love to afford steak these days, Moochelle.

No HUD housing rules against gardens. That’s what I do for vegetables Moochelle. Instead of all the trash, broken toys, and overturned trashcans, the third and fourth generation wellfare folk can use the small yard spaces for gardens. Just sayin’.
MSN.com is filled today with propaganda about us American Thanksgiving gluttons...Just because of that, I’m going to eat a third helping of turkey and dressing...these folks are flaming idiots.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up you uppity communist muslim negro!
What I was thinking. She is SUCH an AIRHEAD.
STEAK and ARUGULA????? OMG!!!!! What am ASS she is!!!! Actually her favorite foods are CHEESEBURGERS and FRIES!!!! She has said so MANY, MANY times!! sHE IS A pathetic b@tch.
Today, scientists confirmed that the garbage spewing from Michelle and Barack’s pie-holes cause global obfuscation and will permanently harm children causing LBD (liberal brain disease).
I bet her next visit is to P'ol P'ot Collective Farms.
Moosechelle Obama..."Let them eat steak."
The similarities of these two ignorant and arrogant women could not be more obvious.
And the woman in the White House (I simply refuse to call her the First Lady) assumes that kids should be fed steak so they will learn to like it. I don't think I have ever met a kid (who eats meat) who had to be taught to like steak. As far as arugula...I doubt it is any healthier than any other salad greens, but it sure is more expensive.

Hmm Didn’t hubby barry say her favorite food is some sort of Mexican food...enchiladas? or some such thing. Guess her favorite food varies depending on the audience. Why are there so many photo ops of her eating a burger, shake and fries?!
