Speaking to the National Council of La Raza Tuesday afternoon, First Lady Michelle Obama shared her deep love of Chicago soul food with the Hispanic activists, but warned Hispanic parents that they could be putting their kids in danger by feeding them too much.
The First Lady noted that changes in the modern family life were affecting Hispanic families in America.
“Sadly all these changes and how we live and eat are having a devastating effect on our children’s health,” she said. “Right now nearly 40 percent Hispanic children in this country are overweight or obese – nearly 50 percent are on track to develop diabetes.”

First Fat Ass discusses Fat Asses

Outstanding point.
Uncle Sam needs to be on a diet.

You go, Aunt Esther! Give them fat Hispanics whatfor.

There’s some consolation that once conservatives have been completely marginalized as a political bloc, the liberals will start turning on their own. They thrive on envy and conflict, so there’ll be some fireworks to watch one day.
That’s why they carry.
government can never get too fat for liberals.
Sounds racist to me. There are fatties of all races, not just Hispanics. Where does she get off criticizing Hispanic people?
Too many Food Stamps. Better cut back...
QFT.
Horribly racist comment
