The White House on Thursday announced first lady Michelle Obamas pick to lead her campaign for kids to eat healthier, saying Debra Eschmeyer would take over a post that has increasingly come under fire in Republican circles.
For more than a decade, Deb has been leading the way in teaching kids about the importance of healthy eating, the first lady said. From classrooms and gardens to kitchens and farms, Deb has made learning about nutrition fun and accessible for kids across the country.
Eschmeyer will take over the position of executive director of the Lets Move campaign, as well as senior adviser for nutrition policy, recently vacated by Sam Kass, Obamas former personal chef.
She will step immediately into a simmering political feud with Republicans, as some conservatives have argued that the first ladys efforts have caused school districts to lose money. Critics argue that students dont want to eat the healthy meals offered as part of the first ladys reforms.

I'll give her this- she’ one of the first government nutrition “experts” I've seen that actually looks healthy.

I suppose all first ladies take on a theme just like they were some sort of beauty queen vying for the title of “miss America.” It is obnoxious.

Cute.
But, she has that wide-eyed vacant look of an obsessive do-gooder. Scary.

There is only one First Lady who accomplished something that I believe made America ‘better’.
Sure, some others have taken on issues that slightly benefited certain ‘groups’, but not ones that actually benefited us all.
The one that did this was Lady Bird Johnson. She got all the giant advertising signs that were lining the highways removed. America has been better for it.

So, is the person’s official title “Director of Healthy Eating”, or “Healthy Eating Czar”?
