Zira from "Planet of the Apes" in a lab coat leading a cadre of mad scientists springs to mind.

Now they’re saying it’s a hoax.

Mooch probably thinks GMO foods turn people into LBGT.

Natural News (LINK) is saying it may be a hoax or parody, but they're not giving indication why they think so. What was he give-away? Surely not Michele's new serene marijuana-munchie smile?

That is exactly what I was thinking! They are literally rabidly against Monsanto/GMO anything. And I can’t blame them in many cases one bit. Who wants to eat ‘round-up’ corn?

this ia real head scratcher

I have a theory that's kinder than most at FR about Michelle's nutritional initiatives.

I think she means well. I'm just not as sure that she's knowledgable enough to know stuff like how bad GMOs are or that schools feeding students instead of parents being responsible for providing healthy foods is counterproductive.

Another thing is she's as awful as her husband at understanding what the gov should be doing for people and what people should be doing for themselves.
