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.”
Here is a full transcript of the May 29 segment:

lol!!!!
I once saw a film of the Main Mooch turning a corner and her butt was 2 seconds behind the rest of her. Why would anyone take advise on healthy eating from a lard ass?
In the incinerator.
20 different types of pie, no doubt.
Once the EPA bans outdoor cooking and campfires, it’ll all be moot, anyway...
meanwhile the mooch was last seen grazing with the cows near Lehigh Acres.
She will tell us to eat what ever this thing is made of while eating a real s’more.
everyone in the nation needs to read Animal Farm again, and again, until it sinks in.
Do you really think her intentions are GOOD? She has decided that obese people will be more expensive for our Obamacare/Nationalized Health Care to cover. She doesn’t care about the AMERICAN people. She is only into control, just like every other Dem in the country and many of the Republicans, too.
Moderation in everything, and "balance" varies from person to person.
You don't. You deep fry it.
Maybe the president will barbecue the family dog.
They will be feasting at a banquet table loaded with all the things that king Obomination sees to rip from the very hands of everyone else who is not ‘in favor’ with him.
No. But, there are a lot of carbs in that and they turn to fat and jack up your blood sugar.
“She has decided that obese people will be more expensive for our Obamacare/Nationalized Health Care to cover. “
Well, they are, and this is not debatable, it is a proven fact. You and I will be paying for them, either directly in taxes, or indirectly with declining productivity.
And we weren’t before? Before these trolls starting mucking in our health care system and EVERYTHING was much less expensive?? What would have brought cost down was the elimination of frivilous lawsuits! I detest what they have done to the (formerly) best health care system in the world. Go to another country if you want your government deciding who gets health care and whose life isn’t worth the cost to the Government (really taxpayers). I pray that this can be reversed. Otherwise, we won’t be caring for our elderly; Zeke Emmanuel outed that part of Obamacare.......after age 75, you shouldn’t get any health care as you are no longer contributing to Soicety. GET IT? Your life isn’t worth spending money on after you hit 75. Yep, that’s the Socialist ticket!
Thanks for the ping!
