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.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

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...

Smaller burgers. Smells like, victory.

[smalltownslick]

JUST SHUT UP, MICHELLE!!

[a fool in paradise]

Can I get some fries with that?

[Peter from Rutland]

No kidding. Want healthier? Eat cattle that were fed by grass, not grain and chicken sh*t.

[Lazlo in PA]

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.

[Ouderkirk]

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.

[Leo Carpathian]

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!

“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...

Having seen some photos of the Bermudas Michelle fits her Bantu Bumper into I can understand that she might need to cut back on the butter and cream. But as for restaurants and the rest of us, she should just butt out (pun intended).

[Texas Fossil]

FUBO and the first wookie.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Every restaurant I have ever been to had salad, I suggest she start ordering it because if her butt gets any bigger they might have to expand the white house to fit her rear inside.

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?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Most fast-food places already offer apple slices as a side for kids meals. I guess when you make $400,000 at a do-nothing job or live in the executive mansion you lose track of what McDonalds and Wendys are up to with their menu.

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.
