NEW YORK (Reuters) - Michelle Obama will be ceding the title of first lady to Melania Trump next month, but she may hold for some time the other distinction she earned during her time in the White House: America's best known advocate for healthy food.

The non-profit organization she helped create as first lady, Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), where she is honorary chair, will continue its work convincing food companies to improve nutrition content and labeling of products, the group said.

"Michelle Obama has been a tremendous leader in this space," said Larry Soler, president and chief executive of the group. "That legacy is going to continue for a long time after this."

Her legacy can die on Day 1 and she can shove her food advocacy right up where the sun don’t shine.

Hypocrite.

I’m not sure about her food legacy but her legacy as Michelle the Moocher will continue.

I’m sure kids and their parents don’t care where her food legacy goes-as long as it leaves their local school cafeterias and she takes those sh***y lunches she forced on the kids with her...

The Wookies starvation diet for school
Kids
Was a joke from it’s beginning.
Wild hickory nuts and tree bark is an apt description.

Really glad in the 1st 3 paragraphs they explain or allude to the title of the article.

Got bored and don’t feel like clicking over to AP, Yahoo or where ever else this published.

Moving on...

Wild hickory nuts and tree bark would have been better-at least they would have been fresh and looked like what they are-the garbage she had schools serving to kids looked overcooked and impossible to make a positive ID on-no wonder kids dumped it in the trash...

Sounds awful to me, but I know people who consider that comfort food. ;-)

Notice that a majority of the food thrown away is the "healthy" food: veggies, fruits, etc. Can you imagine the waste of taxpayer money you are looking at, multiplying this times all the schools across the country at least twice a day?

Mrs. "Tamale"?

The woman who told black people they can go get some "fried chicked" "AFTER they vote"?

Is Michelle’s mom homeless now that she has to move out of the People’s House?
