This is one area, Michelle can't screw up in, because school food can't get any worse.
Besides, as long as she's trying to make school food healthier, she's not causing trouble elsewhere.
“Besides, as long as she’s trying to make school food healthier, she’s not causing trouble elsewhere.”
Actually, this is a golden opportunity for her to create trouble elsewhere. She should be pressed hard on the question whether obese people—who demonstrably have higher health costs, as hundreds of scientific studies attest—should be expected to pay higher premiums under Obamacare. If she says yes, Dems will howl that she is victim-blaming. If she says no, it undercuts her claims about personal responsibility. After all, her entire campaign is premised on the idea that changes in behavior will make a difference. If obesity is beyond a person’s control, that might be a legitimate reason not to unfairly penalize them for “bad genes” etc. But it also means any campaign to change behavior is fruitless since “my genes made me eat” will be the default excuse. If she truly believes people should take responsibility, then it will be entertaining to see her try to explain why charging obese people for their excess health costs is illegitimate.
