Yeah, but a disproportionate percentage of those people are on welfare. So then logic would dictate that it's Michelle's party that's creating the problem, and yet she actually has the audacity to come out here and lecture US about the problem! Meh! She can blow it out her amply sized azz.
Well, we could just ignore this if we didn’t suspect that congress is about to regulate food and farming, and maybe even do another federal takeover.
That’s all we need, is to have federal government union bureaucrats running McDonalds, not to speak of all the farms.
Then our children will look like this.

Recommendation 1.1: Pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy should be informed of the importance of conceiving at a healthy weight and having a healthy weight gain during pregnancy, based on the relevant recommendations of the Institute of Medicine. Specifically, health care providers, as well as Federal, state, and local agencies, medical societies, and organizations that serve pregnant women or those planning pregnancies should provide information concerning the importance of conceiving at a normal BMI and having a healthy weight gain during pregnancy. Those who provide primary and prenatal care to women should offer them counseling on dietary intake and physical activity that is tailored to their life circumstances. In many cases, conceiving at a normal BMI will require some weight loss.
I am 8 months pregnant. I have gained 30 pounds so far. My midwife isn't concerned. I am a very active person. I walk every day on my lunch break, I take classes at the YMCA three or four times a week. I go swimming about twice a week. That being said... I cannot imagine trying to regulate my weight while being pregnant. There's no way I could even try and lose weight right now. I get so sick if I don't eat every couple of hours. So, Michelle-- get your hands off my pickles and ice cream!!
I don’t suppose some enterprising soul with photoshop could conjure up a pic of Michelle wearing a “No Fat Chicks” shirt..?
And rarer yet: How about some photos of them pledging allegiance to OUR flag ?
You know as a black woman Chewbacca may have a point concerning her fellow black woman. Just take a stroll through a WalMart on any given Saturday and count the number of fatties moving through the aisles.
Go Away Michelle - just GO AWAY!!!!
” What the hell gives this woman the idea that I care what she thinks about my fertility and fat?”
..actually, I think she’s talking to low income food stamp women...when I go to Earth Fare all I see are fitness queens that look like they just came from the gym...they drive nice cars.
I knew a woman who dieted every time she was pregnant, she would maintain her weight, her kids were all born early and always needed wires, monitors and O2 hooked into them. The few times she did gain weight, the other kids thought something was wrong because their new sibling didn’t have any wires attached to it.....
While I can see this being good advice for those who are Obese or Morbidly Obese, those who are just Overweight it doesn’t have much of an impact especially if they are active.
Of course the government “standards” for weight tend to favor stick people. I have seen some people listed as “Overweight” ont he BMI and known of a few cases of some people wanting to get the “Normal” BMI end up in the hospital due to being Underweight.
Again the FLOTUS fails.
Thunder thighs should look into a few mirrors before she preaches to others. She might also check the rear view!!
I get so tired of being lectured about things I figured out on my own DECADES ago. This woman did not just invent the wheel. We all could teach HER many things.
NOT the point gene!! Far from it. It is NONE of this lard butts business, and it fact it is NONE of the govt business. Govt. is welcome to advise, via public service announcements, but they have NO right to tell anyone in a free country, what or how to eat, nor how much they should weigh.
How’s that obamacare working out for ya??
It started with tobacco, and sure enough, food is next.
Or in her case, floating.
Actually, I shouldn’t have recommended swimming for Michelle. Every time she goes in the water, the hippos get amorous. It’s not pretty.
It would be more influential and easier to read if it were on the seat of her pants.
Congratulations!!
I gained a whole lot more than that when I was pregnant. But it was all water. I was back in my jeans and bikini within 2 months.
