Ol’ burger-butt pontificates.....
The whole population doesn’t go to McDonald’s for dinner.
Healthy eating didn’t help her butt much did it?
Is the food at the drive-through different from what you get if you walk in?
I think she should butt out..
I find the whole tone of “life was so hard for me as a working mother” rather offensive. How hard can it be to deal with making dinner and keeping the fridge full when Mrs. Obama was making over $300,000 a year for her job alone - not counting the $1.4 million her husband brought in?
I think it’s just a matter of laziness. Women don’t want to get their kids home and sit them down to dinner they have cooked themselves.
It is a life-style concession that was made long time ago.
I used to work with a girl who took fast food home EVERY night and NEVER cooked for her family. Of course they were all overweight, unhealthy and dysfunctional as a family.
Omitting regular sit-down time with dad and mom does a world of harm for children. Fast food is OK once in a while and as a treat, but NOT as a way of life.
AND, do you know how much grocery shopping you can do with what a week of fast food costs?
with nearly 10% of the populous unemployed, a lot of people are either working their asses off and don't have time to cook a healthy meal or they just don't have the money and those 99 cent hamburgers look pretty appealing...
Not to mention the fact that most people are just plain ignorant when it comes to nutrition.
Too bad Nobel doesn't give a prize for parenting. Maybe they'll start to, now that we've found the perfect recipient.
Steam veggies in a microwave very fast. Frozen bubba burgers in a skillet and whammo, you have a meal, cheap and quick.
With that can she’s sitting on, it’s incredible that she’d even open her mouth (except to eat). It’s like the pot calling a pot a pot. Absolutely amazing!
It’s absolutely none of her business who goes where to order what from wherever. Where do they get the gall to be so pushy?
My wife/kids gave up fast food in Jan 08. It has saved us a ton of money...we don’t realize the cost of convenience.
If this is what it takes for her fans to quit eating garbage and start realizing the money savings, fantastic.
The picture of health
Yeah butt she said in Vanity Fair she cant give up her burger and fries.
Oh wait she gets a five star Chef on staff to prepare those yummies.
She is an idiot.
She should have said take the kids to a fast food joint on occasion.
No she urged people to ban them.
Burger King/Mc Donanls next on the no more in America list?
I’m sorry, but I have to agree with Michelle here. There are way too many fat kids because working parents don’t have the time or inclination to cook for them. The kids then come home to hours of homework, video games and TV. Recess has been cut from schools and PE consists of more written work and theory then actual running!
This is a perfect cause for a first lady and much better then her getting involved in policy. I’m glad she might be influencing all the fatties out there in some small way. Good for her.
Excuse me... the two Harvard Grads had to be told by the pediatrician that it isn't healthy to eat fast food on a regular basis?
Really? And I'm supposed to believe they know ANYTHING?
