WASHINGTON (AP) — Next up for "Let's Move?" How about "Let's Cook."

Michelle Obama said Friday that a new focus of her anti-childhood obesity effort will be to help people cook more of their meals at home because they're healthier.

Addressing a health summit in Washington, the first lady said home-cooked meals have less fat, sodium, cholesterol and calories than meals prepared in restaurants — and save money, too.

I completely agree. I don't know about other states but in Michigan virtually any kind of food can be purchased with a Bridge card--not just empty calorie junk food but lobster and prime rib as well. The WIC program is handled differently and it's just about fraud-proof. The items available through the program are very specific and they are healthy. The purchase is made with a check that can only be used by the person to whom it was issued (usually the mom) and by law it is supposed to be countersigned in the presence of the cashier completing the transaction. No change is given under any circumstance. I have absolutely no idea why this isn't how all food assistance programs are handled. To me, it's an absolute no-brainer.

And you forgot to mention tats! That ink's not free. OY!
