Encouraged by Michelle Obama's campaign to reduce childhood obesity, the company that owns the Olive Garden, Red Lobster and four other popular restaurant chains is pledging to cut the calories and sodium in its meals and overhaul its kids' fare.
Darden Restaurants Inc. was unveiling the changes Thursday, with the first lady on hand to lend support.
The company will pledge to reduce the calories and sodium in all its meals by 10 percent over five years, and by 20 percent over 10 years. For children, French fries and sugar-sweetened beverages will become the exception and not the rule....

Ur welcome.
When Chewbaca gets around to reducing her ass down to a size that doesn't turn the head of a Clydesdale ... maybe then Darden management should start listening.
So what is OG going to do about unlimited pasta night?
Just why are those children being hugged by that Clydesdale? That’s an abusive relationship if I ever saw one. Who would have thought that a First Lady (worst lady?) would be abusing America as she does. Mooch-elle...shut your pie hole and take yet another vacation, you putz.
I was just about to purchase Olive Garden Gift cards for two family members’ birthdays.
I just went to Olive Garden’s website and filled out a contact form and told them that I will not be visiting their restaurants now that they have taken up with Mrs. Obama and propaganda/big brother mentality. I told them that her husband has promised to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” and I will take my business elsewhere. I said I am perfectly able to make healthy choices without the help of Mrs. Obama.
Olive Garden will never get another penny from us or our extended family! They want to do the evil Queen Marxist's bidding, then let HER eat there and pay to keep Olive Garden afloat! But the reality is queen Moochiechel, her brood and her " peeps" wouldn't be caught dead going to Olive Garden because it is BENEATH them, besides, they do not serve the danties or delicicies THEY require.
I plan on calling and writing Olive Garden and letting them know they have lost our business and WHY!
They are trying to control and destroy each and every business sector they can.
I foresee much thrown-out food in Olive Garden's future.
About the only "chain" restaurant I frequent with any degree of regularity is Carinos. If you find one near you, you won't be missing a thing by avoiding Olive Garden.
Go take a look at the Darden site.
They talk diversity and sustainability.
Looks like they hopped into bed with Barry and Moochelle a long time ago.
If folks were smart they would give Darden hell.
Boycott them.

If your food is that dangerous just cut it.
None of the restaurants that partner with her will ever see a dime of my money again.

Easy to make a 5 year promise to someone who's only going to be around for a year and 4 months.
Sad to see.
Capital Grille has been a good reliable restaurant wherever I’ve been.
Adios.
Boycott!
NTSA. FLOTUS is Jezebel.

In case you were wondering what kind of groves... it must be olive groves! Oy vey.
1 Kings 18
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
The wickedness in the White Hut is great, because Ahab and Jezebel squat there.
I’ve never heard of Carino’s!! I do like Carabba’s better than Olive Garden.
Ya want some more fries with that, Queen?
One of the things that makes going out to a restaurant affordable in this economy is the idea that you can get two meals by bringing home the leftovers. It’s not like the family table where mom insists you eat everything on your plate. But Big Mama thinks you are too stupid to know when you have eaten enough so Big Restaurant must skimp on the portions. Forget the doggie bag, just stay home.
No more Olive Garden - got it...
