Full title: First Lady: ‘Imagine’ an America Where Kids Beg for ‘More Fruits, Vegetables’ – ‘It is Possible To Create This World!'
(CNSNews.com) – First Lady Michelle Obama said she can “imagine” an America where businesses promote the “healthiest options” so children will be “begging and pleading” for fruits and vegetables, adding that “it is possible to create” such a world.
“I mean, just think for a minute what this country could look like,” Mrs. Obama said at the Partnership for a Healthier America Summit on Friday at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
“Imagine walking into any grocery store in America and finding the healthiest options clearly marked and centrally placed so that you know within seconds what’s good for your family when you walk in that store,” Mrs. Obama said. “Imagine opening up a menu in any restaurant and knowing exactly what items will give your family the most nutrition for your hard-earned dollar.”
“Imagine our kids begging and pleading, throwing tantrums to get you to buy more fruits, vegetables and whole grains,” Mrs. Obama said.
“Yes, this is possible,” Mrs. Obama said. “It is possible to create this world!”
Mrs. Obama praised corporations like Walmart, Disney and Darden Restaurants for marketing healthier foods to children.
She also touted the launch of “Let’s Move Active Schools,” a $70 million initiative “to promote physical activity and bring physical education back to our schools,” Mrs. Obama said.
Our kids likely will be begging for any type of food in the economy we’ll have by 2016.
never had a bigger fruit in the white house...
Yep...try North Korea.
I imagine a world where we are the USA, not the USSA.
Strange, in my house that is exactly what happens. I usually have to throw away at least half of any birthday cake after a week. The kids have come to blows when someone eats all of the cucumbers and doesn’t save any for anyone else.
And it didn’t take the government to make it happen.
She can say this stuff with a straight face while sporting an a$$ that’s as big as a freight train?
Isn’t that the truth!
Amen...It takes a caring family.
Just like a Dickens orphanage with little kids begging for more food.
This woman is an affirmative-action idiot.
Imagine a country where the first lady wants kids to be beggars!!
Imagine an America where a first lady’s only pride in being American is when her communist husband takes power.
Hard to believe it. But it’s true. And very sad
While I can certainly imagine a world where kids beg to eat vegetables, I do not know of one child that would do just that, except for those children that are shown on children charity advertisements, where the hosts are begging for cash.
