Its been more than six years since Michelle Obama kicked off her Lets Move! initiative to fight against childhood obesity, and children are as overweight as ever before.
Thats according to a new study published Tuesday in the journal Obesity. A team led by Duke University scientist Asheley Skinner studied data from the CDCs National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and found that the percentage of overweight and obese children between 2 and 19 years old has increased across the board since 1999.
That comes as bad news for the Obama administration, which has sought to force children to eat healthier foods and exercise more through the first ladys Lets Move! campaign and the Task Force on Childhood Obesity.

Don’t tell Don :-)
If you can find it again, please send me the link. Someone posted a funny graphic of Michelle Obama I wanted to save titled “Cheeseburger in Paradise”
The only thing Moochelle Obammy has done for kids is to make ‘em hungry.......
A democrat program failing, what are the odds?
Usually around 100%
Caption: Mista Ewing, yew sho has put on da weight since yew left the Knicks.
Home made? I can see a menu in the photo. :-P
of course not...
they just go home from school half starved and get all the calories and sugar they want there...
My Mom sent us to school with sandwiches etc from home..
MO would have had a fit..
My fav was lettuce sandwiches..
or Whitebait Fritters..
White bread, butter, lettuce and Marmite...yummy...
the lettuce would have been a nono for Mo because my Dad grew it in his own garden...HIMSELF..no peon staff members or famous gardeners involved..
In high school I also took a Thermos of homemade soup in the wintertime..
Gee I’m sure there was something suspicious in that soup..
We had fresh bread every day from the bakery in town except the weekends..so on Mondays we would take a meat pie that Mom had made Sunday night..all meat and veggies from Dad’s garden..the mutton was ours too..slaughtered by Dad..
MO would scream about that...no Govt control...
and I wasn’t fat...none of us were...a fat kid was a rare sight at my school of well fed kids...
If MO was really interested in getting fat kids less fat she would insist they move at school...how about running around the school yard a few dozen times every day ???
But oh NOOOOOOOO that’s rasis !!!
we had PE just about every day and everyone played sports and we played tag or “rounders” or leap frog at recess..
Lol, right on, get straight to the point!
That calls for doubling the funding!
Assuming that was the goal (of making kids less obese).
But we all know it is just another program for Michelle/Barak to distribute favors amongst their cronies.
One more epic fail by the First Wookie.
Exactly!
Yum!
on to phase two- arresting parents of obese children for ‘child abuse’
That's not supposed to be there!
My cioppino --- MY cioppino--- doesn't have huge hunks of lobster and crab in it like that one does. I used frozen shrimp, scallops and catfish, canned clams. Pic was for illustration, not for documentation!
This is for documentation!
Yep. When I was a kid; if I wanted a snack, I had to rob
my piggy bank & hop on my bike & pedal to the little
grocery store up the road from our house. Cold drinks were
8 ounces & candy bars were also not all that large &
none of it was sweetened with HFCS. Mamie Eisenhower did
not seem to think we ALL should be sporting the short
bangs or eating what she dictated. - Black girls are
probably still eating large bags of chips & guzzling huge
cold drinks with HFCS. Like the black boys are still
sporting the britches pulled down to the ground.
Of course it's failing. After having nothing but starvation rations all day long, the first place they hit when school lets out is Mickey Dee's.
Simple solution limit EBT card purchases to healthy foods.
