First lady Michelle Obama had tough words for grocery manufacturers Tuesday, telling them to step it up in their efforts to provide healthier foods to children and curb obesity.
At a conference at Washingtons Grand Hyatt Hotel, Obama talked about her own efforts on the childhood obesity front, explaining that her goal was to finally make this national public health threat a national priority.
Im here today to urge all of you to move faster and to go farther, because the truth is we dont have a moment to waste, she said in a 20-minute address. So, we need you all to step it up.
In recent weeks, most of the first lady's public appearances have been centered on her Lets Move initiative, launched last month.
She recently penned an essay for the cover of Newsweek on her efforts and has traveled to highlight success stories in addressing childhood obesity. And shes used her roles as a mother and as a fitness fanatic, to urge parents, school officials, mayors and governors to get more involved.

Earth to Michelle. Kids like ice cream because it tastes good. Not because of marketing. All the marketing in the world will not make a five year old like brussels sprouts.
hmmmmm! Sounds like “Soylent Green” to me. Yuuuummmm!
ooops!!
sarcasm/satire tag/off
If that is not right, I will try again.
Consuming public to the wide-load bitch...FOAD.
Damn this hectoring harridans and her smarmy no-account husband. What the hell gives these scum the right to constantly lecture to us? We want to live our lives in peace without the belligerent brayings of ANY Obama.
Someone told them that the natives were restless...
Healthy measurements of 30 / 50 / 100.
And she beeps when she's in reverse.

Double clutch.
Let’s take over the supermarkets now....
I want this woman out of my life. She is not elected. She is no expert. She is a total fraud.
This after we have been told the tales of how she and her girls dined on hamburgers, french fries and milkshakes.
She thinks she is going to tell the grocers what to do.
GOOMLB.
No, because they intend to run every aspect of our lives. The longer we put up with it, the more liberty they will steal from us. They won’t take it directly....yet. They will just meddle, which is what this unelected busybody wants to do.
FUMO
Geeze...and to think that I gripe about the fact that I don’t have enough “back” to keep my low-rider jeans from sliding down to a potentially “dangerous” level all the time.
Suddenly, I feel blessed.
If that dress were about 10 sizes smaller, I’d have looked damn fine in it.
She, however.....
[but I always thought it looked like more like the gateway to Hell...you can even see all the tormented souls screaming at the bottom]
Who the hell dresses her?
Broyhill furniture?
That is true, and I for one have had my fill of it.
