Former first lady Michelle Obama on Friday bashed critics who complain that kids don't like the healthier food served under the school meal changes implemented during the Obama administration.
"How about we not let kids completely guide everything?" she said, speaking at the annual summit on childhood obesity for the Partnership for a Healthier America. "How about we stop asking kids how they feel about their food? Kids, my kids included, if they could eat pizza and french fries every day with ice cream on top and a soda, they would think they were happy, until they got sick.
"That to me is one of the most ridiculous things we talk about in this movement, that the kids aren't happy. Well, you know what? Kids don't like math, either. So what are we going to do, stop teaching math? We gonna cut history out because there are kids who are bored with history? We are the adults in the room, you know? They look to us. So let's just stop with that. I'm good if kids are mad at me."
When asked about the possibility about delaying the nutrition labels requirements, Obama replied: "Keep families ignorant. That's all I'm hearing. You don't need to know what's in your food. You can't handle that, mom. Just buy this, be quiet, spend your money
I would be highly insulted by that thought. You want to talk about nanny state and government intervention? You just buy the food and be quiet. You don't need to know what's in it. That's essentially what a move like this is saying to you, mom."

How about the government butts out of what kids eat or don’t eat? Let the parents decide.
She actually said adults in the room? Not including herself right?
Yeah.. if her spawn had to eat the slop and butcher floor rejects that get served at the “common folks” schools..
Yeah, that fat cow feels a need to tell kids how to eat.
Typical hypocritical leftist totalitarian without a shred of self awareness.
As one of the adults in the room, I’ll refrain from telling Moochelle what she can do with her eating dictates.
Every kid I know just LOVES steamed broccoli! LOL!
Moo-Cheele: You are no longer in the room.
I actually like the first part of what she said. She’s right that schools shouldn’t just serve what kids like. That philosophy ended up with candy and soda vending machines in the schools.
No Mooch, you and Broke are not adults anywhere, your victoms, get it, victoms not adults.
MOOCHIE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING !
Because the kids will just throw the meal away. You can't force them to eat an unappetizing school lunch, although I'm sure you would certainly look for a way to do that. And no meal at all is worse than traditional fare. Man, she is stupid.
Michelle Obama looks like she is getting fat and has already put on 20-30 pounds since her hubby has left the White House. Her message as an adult is that she should be able to pig out on anything she wants while the kids should shut up and eat crap. It’s a don’t do as I do. Do as I say kind of attitude.
There’s not one pea on Sasha’s lunch tray.
Notice how they’ve taken down nearly all the pictures of Sidwell’s lunches.
The look on the Mooch’s face is priceless.
When she ain’t stuffing her hypocritical pie-hole.
If only Poppy Bush had Aunt Ester as his personal family dietitian
Newman: “Are you kidding? I lo-lo-love broccoli”.
Seinfeld: “Then maybe you’ll have a piece”.
Newman: “I’d love to”.
Newman: “Vile weed!!!! Honey Mustard!!!!”
