First Lady Michelle Obama is planning an elaborate unveiling on Tuesday of the anti-childhood obesity drive she is leading.
Mrs. Obama's East Wing said she will be "joined by members of the president's cabinet, as well as media, sports, entertainment, and business leaders," plus mayors, member of the medical community and others at the White House event. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Obama will sit down with CNN's Larry King for an interview about obesity and her first year as first lady. She will take questions from viewers.
"Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled; nearly one third of children in America are now overweight or obese," the East Wing said in a statement. "The First Lady will announce the elements of the nationwide campaign, which will put us on track to solve the problem of childhood obesity in a generation."
GOP_Lady, remember the outrage when Nancy Reagan dared to tell kids to say no?
Now MaBama says no to Donuts and we’re supposed to applaud.
Considering how intrusive Dem wives usually are, this is something that keeps her out of trouble.

If you take away the 10 year old populations pot, the munchies will subside. Then, of course, you are going to have to deal with the kid behind the facade. Good luck with that.
What about a war on “junk in the trunk”?
Maybe instead of focusing on childhood obesity the First Lady should work on curing Obama’s inflated ego
