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 Obamas stated second term agenda to impact the nature of food in grocery stores, reports

Would the Worst Lady shut her considerable pie hole? The stupids cart will probably have her America-hating, Caucasian-hating voice. Will the carts tell the homeless to return them? Will the carts cost taxpayers lots of money? While I’m askoin’...will the nobama family be put in prison?

"Carts go through a lot of punishment and are outside in all types of weather,
...as well as exposure to imaginative hackers. I expect to be reading about some very politically incorrect shopping carts soon after these devices are released to the public.

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. And don't forget, big Democrat donors will get the contracts to build these $30K carts.
