It's clear that we can't go 24 hours without Sarah Palin saying something so stupid that it defies logic, but leave it to the Kim Kardashian of politics to find something wrong with first lady Michelle Obama's effort to curb obesity in America's kids.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at the first lady's "Let's Move" initiative, which is all about getting children active and involved in exercise and healthy eating.

You did that stuff when you were a kid, in the late forties and fifties. This year?

In fact I plan to grow radishes this winter in a south facing indoor window box. I eat the roots and then the greens in soup. Have you ever tried growing sprouts? They make a good addition in winter.

Hope you don't starve. And Michelle Obama is just about as knowledgeable as you are. I wouldn't take dietary advice from either of you.

I don’t plan on starving, and should there be a major disaster I have about a 4 month supply of food at home. I have had a small urban garden every year for the past decade. I picked tomatoes and peppers yesterday.
