Former first lady Michelle Obama is continuing the work she started in the White House to promote and improve children's health and nutrition.
In an essay for Oprah Daily published Thursday, Obama recalled how her early years as a parent often meant feeding her young children delivered and prepared foods out of convenience.
"Grabbing prepared foods becomes simpler than cutting up carrots. Ordering delivery is sometimes all you have energy for," she wrote.
"I still remember taking one of my girls for a well-child visit and having the doctor tell me that all those simple choices I was making were negatively impacting her health. It was one of the worst feelings I've had as a parent — and one of the biggest wake-up calls of my life. I was a little scared, and also a little exasperated."

My sons doctor told my wife the same thing. He was eating lots of vegetables and roughage.
The doc told her he needed to eat white bread,!almost zero vegetables, twinkies and junk food.
He had just been diagnosed with Crohns Disease and all the healthy stuff was screwing him up.
white bread, almost zero vegetables, twinkies, and junk food...
For Crohn’s Disease???
Agree.....that’s what I remeber, too.
i never talked to our doctor about what my kids ate. we ate the same as everyone else...chicken soup, stew, hot dogs, hamburgs, vegies rtc etc......and whole milk with every meal
I guess you'll have to go back to delivery, now that you've killed off your chef.

Okay, who has the banana .gif?
I remember when they flew a special chef in 860 miles from Missouri, just to make them fancy pizzas in The White House.
"When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.
Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff."
The Queen probably hasn’t cooked in meal in 30 years.
there should never be an S in faSt food.
Good one. Fat foods! That’s the ticket!
It was also talked about, here,as well as all kinds of other things, that some posters knew.
WOW...there’s that ugly scowl; just like her mother.
Apparently she doesn't know that you can get bagged carrots that are already cut up. Proves she never went to a grocery store herself.
Yikes! How does she wipe her @ss with those talons?! 😬
Steve Bannon just called him Big Mike today.
She manages to smoke and drive a car with them:
She had her mother living with her, they had a PRIVATE CHEF, probably a house-cleaner, a gardener, and who knows what else, when they lived in Chicago. And part of that time, Wee Barry was NOT even living at home, because he was in the State Senate and then, in D.C. and a senator. So Michelle was home ALONE with her mother and the girls.
