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 Washington’s 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.”
“I’m here today to urge all of you to move faster and to go farther, because the truth is we don’t have a moment to waste,” she said in a 20-minute address. “So, we need you all to step it up.”

I hear ya! LOL
Looks like one of the Grand Tetons has escaped...
And notice MsTOTUS in that first photo...
Hey, that even rhymed.
It is none of your business what anyone, but your family, eats!
The word from the Bama folks who met the POTUS last week at the White House was that he smelled of cigarette smoke. Yuk!
I’ll bet he’s been smokin’ 4 packs a day trying to get his health care passed.
That thing might explode, I’d back away to a safe distance.
