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?

First Lady Michelle Obamas anti-obesity campaign Lets Move is out with new advice for Americans: skip the buffet and stick to unsweetened tea.
The tips were introduced as part of Mrs. Obamas #GimmeFive challenge, which is encouraging people to come up with five ways to be healthier for the fifth anniversary of Lets Move.
President Barack Obamas 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 its important because these habits lead to a more fulfilling life, Lets Move said in a recent blog post. On days when your family cant cook at home follow these suggestions from USDAs 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, Lets 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, Lets Move said.
The campaign also encouraged Americans to check out the Department of Agricultures (USDA) Pinterest page for healthy recipes.
Mrs. Obamas favorite recipes on Pinterest include, Bean-kale burgers, whole-wheat spinach mac and cheese, and curried pumpkin with peas.
