WASHINGTON-- First Lady Michelle Obama is expected Thursday to announce headway in her drive to have restaurants reduce portion sizes, part of her "Let's Move' campaign against obesity.
"The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report"--commissioned as part of Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" project, "specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible." below, from White House....
UPCOMING GUIDANCE FOR FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA
Thursday, September 15 11:45 AM - First Lady Michelle Obama will make a major Let's Move! announcement related to providing healthier choices and greater variety for families in restaurants - a critical piece of ending the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation. One of every two dollars spent on food is spent in restaurants, and over one-third of calories consumed in America are eaten at restaurants. The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible." This event will be held in Hyattsville, MD and space is limited.
Whether she said that or not, just the fact that it’s BELIEVABLE she said it. Her scorn for this country is well-known, and usually her handlers try to keep her out of the limelight. I’m sure she’d be more than willing to come out full-fledged, ala Hillary.
Nailed it. But that would require one of the 0bama's to actually open and run a business and have some business sense.
Ha!
>Michelle Obama prodding restaurants to reduce portion size<
And of course she’s also reminding them to reduce the price of that portion accordingly. < /Sarcasm>
All this to make her appear as if she cares.
Her ass has its own zip code and she lectures the rest of us. She has 2500 calorie lunches and she lectures the rest of us. I really despise hypocrites.
Hey, mooch-elle. I know you’re reading this, you worn-out grifter. Shut your fat pie hole and leave the rest of us alone. You are the last person anyone (including children) need “guidance” from. Go to your room, eat your large portion ribs and bowl of fries and STFU. Did you ever consider this is supposedly the “...land of the free”?
I wondered the same thing. The only people I know that go bat sh*t crazy when someone makes fun of that big, fat thang in the WH is DUmmies and other libs.
Another successful heavy lift.
Excluding her personal staff the "servants" will still be employed in two years.
I cannot wait until the First Dude introduces his
“Let’s Hunt!” initiative.
RUN SARAH RUN
That vegetable garden is too big even for that mealy mouthed family.
Eleanor Roosevelt traveled around the country for her husband, authored a weekly newspaper column and hosted a radio show. Jacqueline Kennedy engaged in an expansive campaign to restore the White House. Lady Bird Johnson pioneered environmental protection and beautification; Pat Nixon promoted volunteerism; Betty Ford supported women's' rights; Rosalynn Carter aided those with mental disabilities; Nancy Reagan founded the "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign; Barbara Bush promoted literacy; Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to reform the healthcare system in the U.S.; and Laura Bush supported women's' rights groups and encouraged childhood literacy.
Michelle Obama has focused her efforts on food--figuratively and literally.
Throw out the trash 2012
“First Lady Michelle Obama is expected Thursday to announce headway in her drive to have restaurants reduce portion sizes”
Well unless she’s eating there. Then supersize it.
