First, Michelle Obama seized control of your child’s school lunch and made it “healthy.” Now, the First Lady wants to change the way you buy groceries.
A new 80-page report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture explains that federal bureaucrats hope to use a variety of tools to modify the way Americans select food items at the supermarket.
The goal is to steer consumers toward fruits and vegetables – and away from sugar- and fat-laden items. The plan is in line with “Michelle Obama’s stated second term agenda to ‘impact the nature of food in grocery stores,’” reports
While the feds’ plan deals mostly with the 47 million Americans who participate in the government’s food stamp program, it would indirectly affect all consumers.

Do as I say, not as I do, cretins!!
I envision a nation full of damaged ex-talking shopping carts.
Bitch be crazy.
This woman has no authority. Why is she able to initiate any campaign on any issue?
After forcing the grocery industry to spend tens of millions on new high-dollar shopping carts. Of course it will be the consumer who pays the final bill for it all.
Hey, I have an idea how she can accomplish this at a lot less cost. Take the food the kids won’t eat from the school cafeterias and distribute it to the EBT card holders who will no longer be able to go to the grocery. They’ll either get healthy and lose weight or get a job.
Full marks to both of you.
She should be more concerned about her own food intake.
On the other hand, it’s been said that “fat bottomed girls make the rockin’ world go ‘round.”
There are people who would go along with this, so relieved of having to actually make ‘point of sale decisions all by themselves’. Naturally, the next step will be having the Carts tell you to buy from certain coporations, you know, the same corporations who just happened to donate the maximum amount to Barack campaign funds or deep pooling funds. If this experiment ever really happens, expect for some bored school kids to hack into the Cart’s memory and have strange data coming out. “Try our brand of Windex. Windex has performed well as shampoo, and is also the perfect soap to use in your dishwasher, Please Try It!”
in the immortal words of Spinal Tap, “Big bottom...talk about mudflaps, my girl’s got ‘em”.
“fundamentally changed”? Ask the kids how much they “love” the change:
Look for a new nanny state agency where fired TSA agents will go through your shopping cart to check that you are only trying to purchase government “approved” items. Items not meeting Moochele’s approval will be removed before you are allowed to proceed to the checkout. Got that comrade?
Mooch must be getting a hefty kickback - er, “contribution” to the Obama Global Initiative - from the Talking Shopping Cart Manufacturers.
What planet did these people come from?
A 20oz hammer from the store’s hardware dept works well.
“not the place for delicate electronics. “
Neither is Moochelle’s face.
A cart would get a lot of punishment from me if it insisted on talking to me. I HATE machines that talk to me.
