MICHELLE OBAMA: I COULDN'T FEED MY KIDS RIGHT–EVEN WITH A HARVARD DEGREE
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 16 Jun 2014 | by CHARLIE SPIERING

In an interview with MSN.com, First Lady Michelle Obama explained she used to struggle to feed her kids right—even though she received an education from Harvard and Princeton.

“Before coming to the White House, I struggled, as a working parent with a traveling, busy husband, to figure out how to feed my kids healthy, and I didn’t get it right,” she explained, sharing a story about her children’s doctor who pulled her aside to talk about her family diet.

“I thought to myself, if a Princeton and Harvard-educated professional woman doesn’t know how to adequately feed her kids, then what are other parents going through who don’t have access to the information I have?” she recalled.

Her personal struggle helped her launch her mission to address childhood obesity, she explains, especially passing a law requiring schools to provide healthier meals for kids.

The First Lady recommended that schools make decisions for children because their parents struggle to feed their children well.

Affirmative Action degrees aren’t even worth eating.

Caring for children is not part of school curriculum, nor would I want it to be - as they would botch it!

She doesn’t comprehend how arrogant she is when she manifests her reasoning. In her mind, when she finally learned something, she now feels she must mandate her epiphany on the rest of humanity.

It’s incredibly obvious she doesn’t think education occurs except in academics. What an incredibly small thinker.

“I thought to myself, if a Princeton and Harvard-educated professional woman doesn’t know how to adequately feed her kids, then what are other parents going through who don’t have access to the information I have?”

Perhaps she would consider Harvard and Princeton were not founded to educate dietary nutrition, but rather were founded to educate the soul by devotion of academic studies of the Bible. Both have drifted far away from their original founder's intentions. Maybe she should us the same argument to reading the Bible. If a Princeton and Harvard-educated professional woman doesn’t know what is in the Word of God, then what are other parents going through who don’t have access to the information I have?” Instead of mandating it, maybe she could simply make the information available to them.

This occasionally makes the rounds on Facebook.

It's always people with children who post it.

The whole point of dropping that tidbit into the connversation was to convey that she’s supposed to be intelligent by stating that she had an an Ivy League education.

With narcissists you can always guarantee that they’re going to make the conversation about how superior they are to everyone else. Hey Mooch take away the money and Affirmative Action and I bet you would have been making a 3.0 avg at some community college.

What an idiot FLOTUS is. Handing someone an Ivy League diploma adds zero IQ points.

My mother fed her three children right.

My wife fed our two just fine.

What is she? Incompetent?

Women have been feeding their kids correctly without a college degree (and none of your courses likely covered nutrition anyway) for thousands of years. It just involves BEING HOME and COOKING -- topics which you may be unfamiliar with.
