First lady Michelle Obama is challenging the nation's restaurants to add more healthy options to menus, label those items more prominently and market nutritious foods to kids.
Speaking at the National Restaurant Association Monday, Mrs. Obama pleaded with restaurants small and large to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side dish on the kids' menu.

Just like it used to be in the good old Soviet Union:
Every kid MUST drink a mug of warm milk during recess. Never mind if you are lactose intolerant or just can’t stand the smell of milk.
Restaurants serve WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO EAT, or they go bankrupt. This should be easy to grasp!
First it’s a Suggestion...
Then it’s a Request...
Finally it’s a Mandate...
(reference:smoking bans)
JUST SHUT UP, MICHELLE!!
Can I get some fries with that?
No kidding. Want healthier? Eat cattle that were fed by grass, not grain and chicken sh*t.
Why don’t you start with your husband. Every time you see him on the road he is stuffing his face with junk food. What a ratty whore. Mind your own business.
She really needs to practice what she preaches before she starts lecturing us.
Yea...listen up Chewbacka, all that Wagyu beef is sure health for your isn’t it.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Pot meet Kettle. Kettle meet Moochelle.
Yo Mochellleee!
It’s carbos in your no fat no cholesterol TV bombardment that makes you faaaat!
Not butter or cream, they are ZERO carbos. Get Dr. Atkins book if you want to save the nation.
STFU and show us 0 birth certificatos!
Once upon a time, there were two smurfs
“Restaurants serve WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO EAT, or they go bankrupt. This should be easy to grasp!”
The Obamas understand that concept; they just hate any business that they do not control.
Their ideal is a society where that which is not mandatory is prohibited and where all have an equal right to do as they are told.
You've just put your finger on an ugly - and important - truth about liberals. They DON'T grasp it, really...
FUBO and the first wookie.
I don’t know where to begin with this one. We must certainly live in a society of total affluence, if the First Lady goes on record begging restaurants to offer apple slices as a side dish on a kid menu. This is inferring that kids eat out regularly in restaurants, not just McDonalds. Also, who in the world is Michelle Obama to tell a chef to use low fat milk in his cream sauces. Spokesmen for the government, i.e. Mrs. Obama, have no right to dictate what a restaurant should and should not serve. How dare she?
Of all the issues the Flotus could have addressed it does seem this was the least which would create hot buttons. I really don’t think they want her speaking much on anything of real importance.....keeping her in the kitchen seems to be the way to go that is safe for the party...otherwise they have to constantly pick up after her outspokeness and the firestorms she ignites.
In some ways I wish they’d let her out of her pen.... she could do alot of damage to their party and Bo.
