‘We Can’t Just Leave it Up to The Parents,’ Says Michelle Obama on $4.5 Billion Child Nutrition Law Monday, December 13, 2010 By Penny Starr
(CNSNews.com) – In remarks prior to President Barack Obama signing the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids legislation into law today, First Lady Michelle Obama said that meeting children’s nutritional needs is “ultimately the responsibility of parents,” adding that the law is necessary to make certain children are properly fed.
“It’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility to meet as well,” the first lady said at the signing ceremony at the White House. “We can’t just leave it up to the parents.”

Moochelle’s “it takes a village” moment.
Government, not parents knows best how to raise kids. All your kids are belong to us.
(sad sarc)
Hello, Nanny State!
Liberals all think you & I are too stupid to manage our lives and the lives of our children the ‘right’ way.
.....it takes a village...er state...er nation.
You mean like we as a nation have made sure that kids didn’t do all the other things she hates about our country?
I’m not a father yet, but this article gets my blood boiling to the point of red-out. They’ve invaded our pocket books and our piggy banks, they’ve made inroads to our health care system, they’ve destroyed our economy and our status on the world stage; and now this barbarian Wookiee bitch wants to control our children.
From my cold, dead hands, Michelle. From my cold... dead... hands.
YES WE CAN!
FLOTUS,
Get your own fat rear end in shape before you decide what’s best for me and mine...
What’s next? Fashion advice? I guess boob belts will be mandatory much like seat belts.
YES WE CAN!
I suppose this means that either the parents will go to jail or the state will take the kids away for making unhealthy choices.
“Moochelle’s “it takes a village”( idiot.)” And she is the idiot if she thinks that in their mind she and her ILK think they know better than parents... Pretty soon they will start balancing the families number and gender of children.... ie. They must be all knuckle draggers!
I am completely against this but I do have to admit, there are parents around here who should have been sterilized long before they had any.
I have a friend who’s wife works at the local WIC office in town. The stories she can tell you about some of the meth heads around here could be a convincing devil’s advocate argument on unfit parents and kids going without food to anyone thinking the government needs to stay completely out of raising kids.
Genocide (non-liberals only, of course) is cheaper.
/sarc.
The parents who voted for Obama ARE too stupid to know what is good for their children.
She should worry about her youngest daughter, and her own BMI. . .Who does she think she is?
Yes and when you purchase your boob belt, you must pay a boob belt tax to cover the cost of a boob belt for those who cannot afford a boob belt - because boob belts are a RIGHT!
Coming from the statist Left, the word “properly” takes on an incongruous, sinister meaning.
Not just liberals think some parents are too stupid to manage their lives and the lives of their children.
Some conservatives fully understand some parents are grossly that stupid and negligent.
But, the dietary welfare of children in state public schools is not a federal issue. It is a State issue and the FEDs ought to butt out.
