“[This is an] unfortunate invasion of privacy for Mrs. Obama,” said Alice Lichtenstein, professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts School of Medicine in Boston. “She has kept her weight constant and engages in regular physical activity. An occasional indulgence is fine. For many people, that is what helps them keep on track most of the time.”

That would make perfect sense, if Mrs. Obama wasn't trying to tell the American people what they must and must not eat and what they can feed their children. When she lectures us and tries to coerce us into eating “healthy”, she forfeits her right to eat whatever she wants, without being criticized.

BTW, I think this “epidemic of childhood obesity” might well be a big fraud (or at least exaggeration) along the lines of AGW.

I went to field day at my kids elementary school a about a month ago, a school with very mixed ethnic and economic demographics. Only a handful of the roughly 300 students could be considered “obese” and only a small percentage seemed even overweight. Most seemed to be in very, good shape.

Now the some of the members of the teacher's union who were yelling at the kids to keep running, in the 95 degree heat were a different story. :-)

Gee professor, what specific area of nutrition science deals with legal issues of “invasion of privacy”.

Stick to your area of “expertise” Alice and shove your Communist propaganda, in bending over to defend the hate-filled racist.
