WASHINGTON (AP) -- Calorie by calorie, first lady Michelle Obama is chipping away at big portions and unhealthy food in an effort to help America slim down.
In the two and a half years since she announced her campaign to curb childhood obesity, Mrs. Obama has stood alongside Wal-Mart, Olive Garden and many other food companies as they have announced improvements to their recipes - fewer calories, less sodium, better children's menus.
The changes are small steps, in most cases. Fried foods and french fries will still be on the menu, though enticing pictures of those foods may be gone. High-sodium soups, which many consumers prefer, will still be on the grocery aisle. But the amount of sodium in each can will gradually decrease in some cases, and the taste of their low-sodium variety will be improved.

" ... that concludes my remarks. Now excuse me whilst I belly up to my Shake Shack Stack, Fries, Milkshake, and Soda @ 1750 calories ... "

Yes, it's the bi-annual Wookie rutting period.
I heard Obozo is going to appoint Moochelle as his Dietary Czarina Makes sense to me.

Is she going to go into hibernation?
Nah, probably just some more vacations in Spain and Hawaii.
Meantime, when I got a takeout meal at McDonald’s a few weeks ago, I got only half as many fries, but for the same price. Thanks a bunch, Muchelle.

Is there anything they don’t want to control? (Besides the deficit).

My advice to Obama comes as a paraphrase from "Animal House" combined with Tim Meadows, "Da Ladies Man". Get drunk on Courvossier and spend the next six months on double secret probation, while pounding that caboose which follows your lady around. Pound it every hour, and from all sides. It's shape is getting outa hand. If the last year of your presidency is spent slamming that thang, America will be a whole lot better off. If it upsets Reggie Love and your flight attendant boyfriends, let them watch. The view for them will be familiar.
This was from another post, but it applies here as well.

another nice thing about eating in kosher restaurants is that they won’t go for Obama’s shtick

Surely this is a joke. Moochelle should fix herself before taking on the rest of the country. That fix should take her a lifetime.

This huge, overfed, hefty woman should shut her mouth about people's kids being fat. Bad enough that she crapped all over our flag Sunday (with an approving nod from that illegal alien), but she continues to NOT SEE THE IRONY OF HER BEING SO HEAVILY OVERWEIGHT.
Don't they have mirrors in the White House, or are they all in Obama's room above his prayer rug?
How can she be that stupid to not see how fat she is and how ridiculous her preaching sounds.
Leave us, our kids, and our restaurants alone!

In next months issue Michelle reveals how she keeps her ass size to only one zip code.I heard that she dropped a fork in a restaurant and it started to go around her like a moon. And in one classroom she went to, when she turned around, her a$$ erased the blackboards.
