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.

Every news article about these clowns...EVERY SINGLE ONE...reads like satire. Every serious utterance they exhale leaves the listener in awe.
That’s what this affirmative-action idiot thinks: I’m smarter than any non-Ivy League grads, so that means that 99.9% of the country must really be stupid!
By the time I was 12 years old I knew all about nutrition and how to choose good foods just by reading a couple of books from the library.
ha! there is actually the phrase “...let them eat cake” in this quote.
Who does not know what is good and what is junk food?
She is ridiculous!
Yep—did you by chance read her senior thesis for Princeton? If she was that limited in her command of the English language after 16 years of schooling, you know she couldn’t write an acceptable paper at law school either. She needed affirmative action right through her last class of grad school and was undoubtedly useless in her short time working at a law firm.
Maybe she should have been learning how to be a mother instead of just another racial quota lawyer.
I always had the suspicion that her younger daughter being tagged as a potential chubette by the family doctor is what set her off on the rest of us
No problem, dear - just be sure they get plenty of carrots and celery.
Most people manage to feed themselves.
she explained, sharing a story about her children’s doctor who pulled her aside to talk about her family diet.
Bull CRAP! Bull CRAP! I have a family of 6 of us and we all have been to the Doctor NUMEROUS times and family diet has NEVER EVER come up and we use the dreaded “government insurance with “government doctors” with military doctors and tricare mix with me using VA..........so you KNOW if that were true, they would be all over our family with family diet crap and I NEVER have been talked to about this. She is a bigger liar than Hillary by a million.
Iowa State had a wide ranging home economics program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibUsglYe4r0
I think she does this so when she's stealing vacations from us, we won't complain about it..
How does this creature figure her personal moronic stupidity is shared by all Women in America???
How did she conclude all Women suddenly could not feed their Children until the day she downloaded the answers.
Do they really believe no one can function without someone from the Government micro managing every aspect of their lives?
Does this creature not understand every person is unique, with their own set of strengths and weaknesses?
So Michelle somehow believes that it takes an elite college education to have “access to the information” on how to feed children properly. That would suggest that her major was in nutrition. Oh wait....
AND not to mention the question of how is a President’s wife able to make laws? Was she elected to do so? No. Correct me if I’m wrong, I know in the past 1st ladies have been active in pet projects or causes and I can see how they might get initiatives and programs going but has any ever enacted legislation which became a law?
I had an aunt, with an alcoholic, abusive husband, who had six kids. She worked everyday, in a cotton mill, but managed to feed and clothe her brood, and made sure they were all in church every Sunday. Today the kids are all, fine, healthy, and productive adults. My aunt barely had a high school diploma. I doubt if Michelle Obama knows that the word “struggle” has two G’s in it.
your family doctor might have a chat with you if your kid is in the 95th percentile or above for weight in her age group... as may have happened with mooch and her younger daughter
So before she got to the White House, she didn’t know how to feed her kids right. Now that she’s there, we don’t know how to feed our kids.
The Mooche is functionally illiterate. What a king size, fat assed maroon.
My God!
It must be totally by accident that the human race actually progressed from monkeys to the current status today without a healthy meal!
I’ve gone to the refrigerator this morning, opened the door and was shocked by all of the poisonous foods I saw there. I slammed the door and immediately went online to order “the first Bitch’s” book on proper nutrition.
It will be here via Fed-X in the morning and finally after 68 years on this earth I will know what foods to eat so that I can make it at least one more year into the future.
Thank you, oh thank you Michelle for saving my life.
