On Friday, even the hosts of NBC’s Today had enough of Michelle Obama’s effort to micro-manage people’s food choices as they mocked the First Lady’s attempt to create a healthy version of s’mores.
At the top of the 9 a.m. ET hour, co-host Willie Geist explained: “So the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, and the USDA have teamed up for this program called ChooseMyPlate.gov. It's an initiative proposing a makeover, for among other things, this classic campfire treat. So instead of graham crackers with chocolate and marshmallow, they propose graham crackers with, want-wa, strawberries and low-fat yogurt.”
Fellow co-host Tamron Hall declared, “it's not a s'more.” Natalie Morales pointed out: “And the s'more is not all that fattening to begin with. I mean, marshmallows have no fat, graham crackers are low fat, and one piece of chocolate is not going to kill you.” Geist replied: “Thank you. Amen, Natalie. Amen.”
Trying one of the s’more alternatives proposed by Mrs. Obama, Morales observed: “...they get a little soggy. Look at that, it’s falling apart....It falls apart in your hands.”
Geist noted: “So people are not pleased about this....@Texan tweeted, ‘Please tell Michelle Obama this is not a s'more. These are strawberry-yogurt-cracker sandwiches. Put this on a campfire.’”
He concluded: “I admire the First Lady’s initiative to make us healthier, I really do, but come on now. We're keeping the s'more the way it is.”

Bustin’ on the Nanny State PING!
Eat yer peas!!!
Liberals just can’t bring themselves to criticize Wookie Mooch.
I read today that Michelle is promoting the grilling of pineapples and other fruits in lieu of hamburgers/hot dogs for the 4th. Wonder what the O family will be eating?
Whatever these grifter hobos will be eating...the taxpayers are paying for it.
Michelle Obama’s legacy will be that she induced young children to throw away food.
ChooseMyPlate?
I’ve got a suggestion on what she can do with that plate.
Apparently, the "nutritional rocket scientists" @ The Today Show believe that eating fat IMMMEDIATELY lards fat on to the body.
Well, at least Natalie Morales, retard, makes enough baksheesh to protect her from the consequences of her own ignorance:
Morales' annual salary: $2 million, or $1,000 an hour.
Natalie only has to work a couple of weeks ($80,000) to afford a top-flight full-time personal trainer to keep her 5'3" little body skinny enough for TeeVee...
I would love to see the X-ray afterward.
She might have more credibility if her ass wasn’t the size of Texas.
...not him, her other ass.
Wonder what Mooch-shell would be eating if we weren’t paying for it?
Don’t mean to me crude...but she can ‘eat this’.
ONE DOES NOT MOCK THE QUEEN!!! NBC will be punished and punished severely.
Incredibly, I am going to SLIGHTLY defend her on this, because her intentions are good, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with those. I really think that she should have pushed fitness more and being the Food Nazi less.
I’m sorry to say that the only kids I see on my street playing outside in the summer are kids who are probably not native US citizens. Those other kids are probably playing XBox inside where they are “safe”, and who will probably need quadruple bypasses by the time they are 30.
Eat what I tell you to eat!!
Okay, so how do you toast the yogurt????
