Mrs. Obama’s 2nd-Term Agenda: ‘Impact Nature of Food in Grocery Stores’ By Elizabeth Harrington September 4, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Asked by Parade magazine, "What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to "impact the nature of food in grocery stores" with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt.
“With 'Lets Move!,' our goal is to end the problem of childhood obesity in a generation,” Mrs. Obama said. “And while we’ve seen some very profound cultural shifts, we still have communities that don’t have access to affordable and healthy foods. We still need to find a way to impact the nature of food in grocery stores, in terms of sugar, fat, and salt.”
Mrs. Obama also discussed the challenge of “educating families” on healthy lifestyles in a society where “TV is rampant.”
“[W]e need to keep educating families about how to structure a life that is healthy in a society where TV is rampant and communities don’t have enough resources in terms of sports and activities,” she said.
As CNSNews.com previously reported, Mrs. Obama’s “Lets Move!” campaign has published an online guide called “Supermarket Shopping 101” that provides tips for shoppers on the importance of making a list and how to navigate a grocery store.
“Steer clear of the cookie, snack and soda aisle until after you’ve collected everything on your list--at that point, your cart should be full, which might make you feel less tempted to buy things you don’t need,” the guide states.

“Does she go to the grocery store?”
I doubt it.
Purina probably delivers straight to the WH. Probably even provides the trough.
Lately, in NC, Groceries for our family of 4 are around $100/week, plus or minus a little.
And that includes *all* meals, that are healthy as well... And stuff like dish detergent, TP, and toothpaste.
But then again, we shop the sales carefully, use coupons, etc etc etc. Where we used to eat steak and seafood fairly often, we're now eating pork chops and hamburgers. I take leftovers for lunch, instead of eating out (or eating "new"). We're still doing fine, but Obama's war on America has hit my family right in the pocketbook.
Michelle Obama can go fish. That pair of grifters won't be out of office soon enough.
California is off the charts. We rarely have any meat at all anymore. I would love to be able to afford some pork chops. If it’s God’s will, we are leaving this state in two months and heading for the hills — Hill Country in West Texas. We are on a scouting trip next week! I am third generation born in CA and I have to migrate to another state in order to afford food and shelter. A sad day indeed.
In Obama's book he made a claim something to the effect a cruise ship waste more food in 1 day than a Haitian sees in their life.
Food rationing for Americans so the rest of the world can have food is exactly where this is headed.
It's the communist dream come true.
Scenery was gorgeous, that entire area was a great place to visit, but I'd not want to live there. If anything, I got tired of tripping over the homeless, and getting panhandled every time I turned around.
For obvious reasons, I didn't shop for an entire family while I was there, but I did hit the grocery stores fairly often. I don't remember the prices being ridiculously out of bounds. Things must have skidded fairly rapidly in the past few years.
Sad. CA has an abundance of resources and could be incredibly successful, if those in power would allow it to happen.
Believe it or not Michelle, there are thin people in this country that need that sugar and fat or will not make it.
She isn't elected! She doesn't get a 'term'! She has no constitutional role.
I have a wife and I had a Mom, I don't need her to be either.
What the hell is wrong with us?
This mantra of “food deserts” and “access to healthy foods” is a load of BS. When I go to the farmers market on Saturday I never see black peple there. I see Hispanics and Hmongs but no blacks. And the market is near the downtown Green Bay area, within walking distance of the black area. In addition there are city buses availble which will take them within feet of the market.
Michelle’s Second Term Agenda: Transition from persuasion to coercion.

If Haitians need more chicken parm and profiteroles they should build more farms and open more cooking schools. Problem solved! I don’t see what that has to do with me, or the Princess Cruise Lines. ;)
Yeah, much as Stalin 'Impacted the nature of Unkrainian diets'.
Communists love using the deprevation of food to kill.
Just dropped off my grandmother’s Babushka. What would I know. LOL
Hey Moochelle just nationalize all the food stores like GM and then you can get rid of everything you don’t think we should be eating.
lol
I can't wait for her *acceptance speech* tonight.
Maybe she'll explain what *the nature of food is.*
Was hat her Target pic several years ago? Must have a lot of junk food in that sack.
Yes it’s is her Target foray...if only we had X-ray vision.
That was the week Twinkies were on sale BOGO.
