With nation’s school lunches fundamentally transformed, Michelle O eyes ‘talking shopping carts’

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.

Small children are fascinated when they can do things and change their environs. Both Obamas do not care one whit about what their changes do... they only care that something has been changed, and it was because of their actions.

Carts go through a lot of punishment and are outside in all types of weather, not the place for delicate electronics.

Personally, after getting to my car, I would look both ways before beating the damn thing to death with the closest rock.

executions will continue until everyone loves mooshell.

This has all the logic of those crazy feminist organizers who can not understand why men don’t like courts ordering them to pay child support.

Mooshell seems to be a quota graduate of law school not a merit graduate of law school.

They truly believe in their own superiority.
That’s the problem. No fear of God - they ARE gods.

Oh, no need for all that, just take one of those small, powerful, rare-earth magnets you can get at most auto supply stores and sit it on top of the device...it won't be talking long.

Naw there is an easier way.
Ever notice shoppers who have a water bottle with them?
Ooops, slight spill there. FFFFFZZZZZTTTTT.

On a side note, I caught my teenage daughter setting all the self checkout units to Spanish, then running out of the store. Didn’t have the heart to say anything to her. Laughing too much.

IF she wanted to make a true impact EBT card holder would only be able to purchse bulk staples. Cheeze, meat, veggies, flour, fruit. Nothing with a label, nothing advertised.

Bad enough walking near a product when on comes a speaker and tries to get you to buy it.

I got a feeling we will see LOTS of cart speakers that suddenly fail.

On the other hand, it’s been said that “fat bottomed girls make the rockin’ world go ‘round.”

Ironically, that was sung by a homosexual rock star (Freddie Mercury).

I’ve got a better idea. How about if we simply replace Michelle’s husband with a talking shopping cart? That way he can golf all the time for the next two and a half years and the nation will be better served than it is right now. Besides which a talking shopping cart won’t need a teleprompter. It’s a win/win situation.

A talking shopping cart? Should be real popular with a certain demographic.

"...it’s been said that “fat bottomed girls..."

One explanation: it is called Steatopygia

It is specially a female feature, but it occurs in a lesser degree at men too (in most genetic variations of Homo sapiens, females tend to exhibit a greater propensity to fat tissue accumulation in the buttock region as compared with males).

A 50-ounce “Double Gulp” shower should shut it up.
