Mrs. Obama: Americans Should Drink Unsweetened Tea

The First Lady of these United States is now urging Americans to stop drinking sweet tea.

Yes – friends – you heard correctly. Mrs. Obama has declared war on the House Wine of the South. It’s all part of her anti-obesity campaign — called Let’s Move.

The website Free Beacon was the first to report on her latest culinary atrocities – urging us to wash down our lettuce and bean sprouts with unsweetened tea.

The First Lady also told Americans to stay away from all-you-can-eat buffets — which I’m sure is great news for all those folks employed by all-you-can-eat buffets.

This is the only place I hear about stuff like this, so I have to wonder if there's really that much to it. Is it all just her talking to herself and her staff issuing press releases to justify their salaries?

I guess somebody somewhere in the government is ruining kid's school lunches, but how much conviction or reality is there behind this and how much of it is just finding something for Michelle to do that will keep her people busy and pretending that it's all worthwhile?

Amazing. These people are an endless source of suggestions about things that we proles should do without. I see barbed wire, gray uniforms, and loudspeakers with Moochelle’s voice booming out suggestions about what else we can do without.

I agree.

As a teenager, I taught myself to drink unsweetened tea [and coffee]. I like it and anything with sugar tastes AWFUL.

I use Splenda... I don’t like the sugar, but I like my tea very sweet. I cannot stand truly unsweetened tea.

After being raised by an orthorexic mother, I eventually came to the conclusion that eating “healthy” has little to do with actually consuming nutritious food, but rather stems from a strange sense of morality. It is virtuous to eat “healthy” food, and sinful to eat anything that tastes good.

Forget all that. There is a biological reason some foods taste better than others, and that is because we evolved to perceive that foods that contain the biochemical molecules that we need to survive taste good.

First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign Let’s Move is out with new advice for Americans: skip the buffet and stick to unsweetened tea.

The tips were introduced as part of Mrs. Obama’s “#GimmeFive challenge,” which is encouraging people to come up with five ways to be healthier for the fifth anniversary of Let’s Move.

President Barack Obama’s five ways to be healthy are jogging on stage to give a campaign speech, shooting a basketball, playing tennis, climbing the stairs to Air Force One, and lifting a baby, according to a video announcing the challenge.

“We all have to try harder to live a healthier life, but it’s important because these habits lead to a more fulfilling life,” Let’s Move said in a recent blog post. “On days when your family can’t cook at home follow these suggestions from USDA’s MyPlate.”

The suggestions include choosing water, fat-free milk, and unsweetened tea instead of soda, and asking for salad dressing to be served on the side. “Then use only as much as you want,” Let’s Move said.

“Choose a ‘small’ or ‘medium’ portion,” they said. “This includes main dishes, side dishes, and beverages.”

The recommendations also included opting for vegetable stir fries and kebobs, and steering clear of the buffet.

“Order an item from the menu instead heading for the ‘all-you-can-eat’ buffet,” Let’s Move said.

The campaign also encouraged Americans to check out the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Pinterest page for healthy recipes.

Mrs. Obama’s favorite recipes on Pinterest include, “Bean-kale burgers,” whole-wheat spinach mac and cheese, and curried pumpkin with peas.

She just needs another cup of shut up. I hate sweet tea, but am about to start drinking it!
