Nanny State PING!
” Anti-obesity effort not about government telling ‘people what to do’ “
No, it’s about Michelle telling people what to do, and government making damn-sure we do it...
It’s good to be queen...
he he he....we’ve hit a nerve and she has reacted.
Keep hitting it. We can send both she and Barack into total meltdown mode before the election if we keep it up. The two of them have been SO sheltered.
Yeah right. I am so buying into that message. Not.
How do you respond to critics who say the government should not be telling people how to eat or to stay active?
MICHELLE OBAMA:
You know, that’s absolutely right—and Let’s Move! doesn’t do that. Let’s Move! is not about having government telling people what to do, because government doesn’t have all the answers. I mean, a problem that’s this big and affects so many people requires everyone to step up. So we’re asking everyone to do their part. Parents have to make some changes at home, but they need the information to be able to make those choices. And they have to have access to affordable foods in their communities—fresh and healthy foods, right? We need government to do its part, but we need businesses to do their part, as well
I wish the Obamas would take “Let’s Move” to heart and MOVE out of our White House, and out of our country.
I am going to chow on fatty pork ribs yelling allah akaba or what ever. Pass the BBQ sauce!
She can't because The Mooch has to alternate every other day with lobster & cracked crab with drawn butter...and a magnum of champagne.
Why would you go to anything call WIDE WORLD to promote getting thinner?
Well not yet but she is taking baby steps to get to more of a nanny state. Obesity is a major problem but I don't want the gov't to get involved because everyone loses rights, the fit and the fat both.
I work out 6-7 days per week 1-2 hours every day and eat a super clean diet. No junk food etc but I do wish the private sector would get more involved through rewarding fat people to change their way just as the company I work for is doing. They pay for gym memberships and have other programs to help people lose weight and get fit, stop smoking etc and it has helped them tremendously to lower claims over the last 3 years. We have actually had a rate decrease on the amount of premium we have to pay out of pocket.
She should have taken a few hints from previous First Ladies:
-Dress to the occasion;
-Take up libraries or somesuch as a cause; and
-Shut up, because nobody really wants to hear what you say anyway.
Or what Shelly?
More bullsh!t from Moochelle. Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
She’s never had a thought as deep as her footprints.
Also, both Moocher and Obummer are terribly thin-skinned. They become enraged in response to even mild criticism.
It’s about the unelected and unaccountable Moochelle telling people what to do.
