Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: “Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”
One of the former first lady’s signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trump’s administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.

The 53-year-old demanded: “And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on? You know, now that’s up to moms. Moms, think about this. I don’t care what state you live in. Take me out of the equation. Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be OK with that?
“Because here’s the secret: if somebody is doing that, they don’t care about your kid, and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about kids. That’s all we have. So we should be driving this and every elected official on this planet should understand: don’t play with our children. Don’t do it.”

Evidently riled, Obama continued: “‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.
“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem?

Can’t you SEE woman!? He’s White (er orange). lol
We must rescue starving children in America.
It was real nice when Moochie decided that calories must be counted and teenage boys doing sports were “starving to death.”
From what I remember it was toxic sludge with all the veggies brought in from local markets ;)
Nothing about all the Monsanto cr@p put into all our food—corn, soy, etc. and all that flouride in our water supply and the plastic contamination, with even Harvard study which proves lowers IQ in children by 7 pts or more who are ingesting the toxic flouride forced into our water supply (unconstitutional), which was used in concentration camps in Europe to create placid captives. Nothing about all the water contamination by the birth control pill cr@p which is destroying the environment and the safety of our water.
No truth on flouride allowed, no truth on Montsanto, no truth on Big Pharma and all the vaccine-damage-related lawsuits which have been settled for billions of dollars (paid for by taxpayers, of course, thanks to our “justice” system and congress which creates all the loop holes so true “justice” is impossible).
Truth is more hated than Lies and government HIDES the truth and bans it and destroys anyone who will state the Truth (since Jesus Christ and Socrates and apostles and Voltaire, Machiavelli, John Locke, the Founders, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, etc, etc, etc.
Truth is dangerous to the corrupt. Truth is power and Truth will set us Free.
All government programs “for the children” have to be ENDED yesterday.
Charity (churches) need to be empowered again like before the evil FDR destroyed our constitution and replaced it with Stalin’s.

Michelle used "her garden" for photo ops...she had a gardening staff that did the actual gardening...you have to wonder if that was 'house hold expense". Both Obama's saw/see America as south side Chicago in everything they did...actually the Obama's are and can't help being racists themselves.
“Hope he tears up her vegetable garden.”
Yes, rip it up, cover it with astroturf, and put a statue of Ronald McDonald on it.
Well this is the global warming of dietary advice.
School lunch programs don’t cause gluttony. That might be more likely if the food is so properly unappetizing few kids touch it but then try to make it up with snack foods.
Choice within reason should be the key. I wish I didn’t throw away so much milk when I was a kid but I had no choice whether to get it on my tray. I would have gladly subbed V8.
First off she states mothers decide.Er parents do,not just mothers,and mothers are not allowed to make that choice by what she wants.
Secondly the crap is that food which gets thrown into the trash , and no kid eats, thus schools losing money, and kids going hungry.
I remember seeing her harvest big tomatoes...in early May. In Maryland. Of course, democrats are too stupid to know anything about gardening.
I do not understand a person who is not even an elected official who thinks that she can tell an entire country what they can or can’t eat! How much arrogance is required? How much authoritarian virtue is required?
It boggles my mind!
It is impossible to dress a woman devoid of beauty and grace with a dress of beauty and grace.
“Time for all of the Obamas to butt out.”
With Mooch’s big butt you are asking for the impossible! She simply cannot butt out!
ROFL
Listen to this ‘woman’; after all, she claims to be the ‘adult’ in the room. (/s)
I heard President Trump only eats the topping off of pizza — the carbohydrates are what is making Americans fat — President Trump is leading by example! Thank you President Trump!
Mooshel: “shut up! and eat you soylent green!”
