The first lady also encouraged children to try "vegetables that have a little flavor, sweetness" to them like broccoli, celery and carrots. "Don’t be mad because there are changes," she said. "Figure out why the changes are important, and then find out how you make it work for you."
Considering so much of America's obesity is among those on welfare/EBT cards...seems that Michelle would set to limit these entitlement recipients to ONLY healthy food choices. Michelle certainly needs her 'quest' to center on changing EBT users' grocery shopping habits.
Sodas, high fat entrees, snack foods, expensive 'luxury' foods, etc would all be verboten. Better yet, my suggestion would be welfare recipients be limited to 'shopping' at government warehouse commodities for their nutritional needs.
The basic foods (meats/fruits/vegetables/dairy/starches..etc) would be available. And perhaps meal planning, cooking/baking lessons would be available to all. Luxury items, high fat, high sugar, can be purchased at regular stores with their own money. Funds preferably earned at a learned vocation.
I believe in society providing a bonafide though temporary 'safety net' for those in dire needs. And also those finding themselves in unfortunate circumstances. But with Democrats 'buying' votes in the form of greatly expanding the welfare state...our society now experiences those in an entitlement permanent hammock.
Michelle, welfare recipients need to change their families' habits that are now approaching a third generation of our citizens.

EXACTLY what I’ve been saying. Make EBT card purchases ONLY has what WIC cards are allowed. Sure as heck would stop the selling of cards. No McDonalds on an EBT card and NO NO NO cash back.
