Michelle Obama unveiled the latest push in her healthy-eating campaign Wednesday, announcing several national and regional food retailers have pledged to expand into a string of low-income markets where finding nutritious food options is nearly impossible.

There was a time in this country when parents were responsible for feeding their children. A typical lunch was inexpensive and consisted of a sandwich, a piece of fruit like an apple, and maybe a cookie and/or yogurt. Are there any food retailers that do not carry fresh fruit, peanut butter, and cookies or yogurt?

The first lady appears to be a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of person.

“a sandwich, a piece of fruit like an apple, and maybe a cookie “

I can’t even look at an apple! My Mom was convinced of the “apple a day” saying, and put one in my lunch every day for nine years! I only escaped the dreaded apples by going to boarding school! I avert my eyes in the grocery store! I started out liking them, but I’ve loathed them for over 50 years!
