Michelle Obama is getting a new ally in her campaign to get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables.
The first lady was expected to announce Thursday that the Subway sandwich chain will spend $41 million over three years to encourage finicky young eaters to eat more food that comes out of the ground or grows on trees. The announcement was being made at a Subway shop near the White House.
Subway will only offer a kids' menu that mirrors federal standards for school lunches. That includes offering apples on the side and low-fat or nonfat plain milk or water as a default beverage....

“Subway will only offer a kids’ menu that mirrors federal standards for school lunches.”
Yeah, we all know how well that worked out.

A dumb corporate move. People are not going out for this find of food. More than half the nation does not like Obama or his wife and don’t want to be reminded of them on a family outing. People don’t like to be frustrated. They will keep their distance from the new Michelle-ordered school lunch kind of food they’re going to pay for, but the kids won’t eat.

Mine too, just like McD’s did when they stopped my ability to CCW. Noticed we had another mass mall shooting, a mall does not allow GUNS owners to carry on their property.

Michelle Obama is eating healthy?
When did that happen?
About 50 extra pounds ago.

Of all the idiotic corporate moves in the name of political appeasements this one is a whopper. Subway food for the most part is healthy for kids or adults to eat.

This has to be one of the dumbest corporate moves I've seen in a long time.
The ones in the two towns next to me are not that great to start with, this should just about do it for them.
Idiots.

encourage finicky young eaters to eat more food that... grows on trees. Based on my understanding of their beliefs, I can only presume this means the Mooch wants kids to eat money.
