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.

It takes a world government to feed a child

She could buy a book about it at lots of different stores. Many cookbooks have helpful hints and overview of nutrition.

Of course, you would have to want to feed the kids better and want to take the time to buy a cookbook and look some stuff up.

Stories like this make me appreciate my mom, grandmas, mother in laws and church ladies! Networking!

Michelle Obama: I Couldn't Feed My Kids Right–Even with a Harvard Degree

I wonder how many moments this condition existed. There are probably plenty of American families that have had to accomplish the same for long periods of time with no degree and no income that are unemployed because of the obama family.

No Mooch, I don’t believe a course of studies in the law includes any classes in nutrition, regardless of where you take those courses.
Women learn about nutrition either from their mothers or they educate themselves.

No. I don’t believe a friggin word of this.

She and Barry could not possibly be THAT stupid; AND she’s had Mama Robinson along for most of the ride, hasn’t she? Surely Grandma knows how to make dinner - ???

Once again, here’s one of the Soetero’s making up a story to insert themselves into the lives of America.

Making BS out of whole cloth to prove a point, to push an agenda. Maybe just to point out that she is better than you, look at her diplomas. What do they call it on DU? “Concern troll”?? or something like that.

Maybe this lie of hers is to comfort the truly stupid of America, to let Honey Boo-Boo’s mama know that it’s ok to feed your kids like pigs - the gub’mint gonna take care of all y’all’s kids.

Maybe to undermine the confidence of parents of America that CAN be undermined, maybe to try to shame American parents. Maybe to make kids wonder if their parents ARE imbeciles and need the guidance of the The Wons.

Propaganda, lies, whatever it takes, eh? But no, I don’t believe this lying sack of crap.

I was under the impression that she received a Juris Doctor degree. Do colleges and universities now really offer academic degree programs in “Harvard?”

I guess it’s an aeronautics degree in the T-6 Texan trainer aircraft, which the British of course call the “North American Harvard.”

More of a case of Moochelle Husein Obama is educated WAY beyond her intelligence.

They don't teach basic living skills or common sense at Ivy League University. In fact, if you possess common sense when you enter an Ivy League University, you will no longer have it when they hand you a diploma.

I'm not sure how you cook a Harvard Degree to make it nutritious. It's sheepskin but then with all that ink on it, no matter how it is prepared, it probably doesn't taste too good to a young child. Maybe if you coated it in honey before feeding it to them.

How hard is it really, to make a salad, cook a green vegetable and a protein like chicken? Unreal. Sometimes my mother would give a treat and include mac and cheese along with the meal. Or fruit cocktail for dessert. That was always a treat.

An affirmative action degree, Harvard or otherwise, does not confer common sense nor practical competency, Mooch.

Just because she’s too stupid to know how to feed her kids, she thinks everyone else is, too. Sorry, Mooch, most of us know how to do it, so butt out.

Well you would think that in all that time in college, she might have picked up a few skills along the way. And what did her mama teach her or not teach her?

She isn’t saying they didn’t have the money to feed the kids, she is saying that, because they both worked, she was feeding them junk food to save herself time. If she had just quit being selfish and made sure one parent was around to prepare meals, it wouldn’t have been an issue.

Trying to one up Hillary on the “we were so poor” thing. Only need a couple of other Dem harpies and they could do this sketch;

Nice how she anecdotaly tossed in the facts that she went to Princeton and Harvard.

I guess what she was saying was that if someone as smart as herself doesn't know about nutrition, then how can the bumpkins in flyover country be expected to know about nutrition. Since they are predominately white and clingers, then they never went to Princeton and Harvard.

I guess that she will have to impose her control over everybody’s dinner now...

Sounds pretty lame. What happened to the ways of the struggling blacks who new how to cook nutritious meals from what was on hand. Andrew Zimmern has a bunch of shows showing how the early negro improvised.

I don't question their abilities to cook credentials. So far demRATS liked the books they've cooked so well they've eaten every bit of it. The kids probably know there's no substance therein and that continued consumption may be life threatening.
