which would help consumers know they have the appropriate amount of government approved food choices.

Soon to be a mandate in a grocery store near you.

Is there *anything* they don't know how to do better than you?

But she is not going to mandate that Foodstamp recipients not be able to buy junk food with taxpayers funds. So she is really not serious about improving health. She just wants to control the rest of us.

Mama’s should rent out their poppy diapered kids to grocery shoppers who want to get back at talking carts.

Now, Michelle Obama wants to take her nutritional demands from the school system nationwide with major changes being suggested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to nudge Americans to purchase healthier foods.

Here is an Obama "nudge".

How about just having far, far tighter restrictions on food stamps? You want chips, M&Ms and prime steaks? Nope. You'll get potatoes and whole chickens.

You don't need a fancy shopping cart to print "approved for beggars" on the price tag and have the cash register sound a big buzzer if they try to buy it. "Pickup at register #7. Time to return the lobsters back to their tank."

As long as there “healthier choices” involve restricting healthy animal, I will be ignoring them.

$30,000 grocery carts plus the cost of repairs.

I suspect grocery stores would have a difficult time keeping those carts oprational. Too many customers will hammer and find other ways to turn off the commentaries.

Just another typical, inane, liberal idea and, of course, the grocers and customers are expected to bear the brunt of the cost for those $30,000 grocery carts and repairs.

This plan to ‘nudge’ Americans to make healthier food choices includes high-tech, $30,000 grocery carts, “MyCart grocery cart,” which would help consumers know they have the appropriate amount of government approved food choices. The color-coded cart would have sections with sensors installed to praise the customer when they have a cart filled to its ‘healthy threshold.’ The report cited the cost for changing to the high-tech grocery cart for Safeway, Inc., which has 1,335 stores nationwide, would be $40.05 million.

John, are you writing under the "Jennifer Burke" pseudonym again? Only you could dream up something this crazy.

Mooch should really be committed to perpetual care in the nuthouse. This is beyond the pale.

I want a high-tech, $30,000 grocery cart for when I’m living in a cardboard hooch under the under-pass. Makes collecting aluminum cans a breeze.

Hey MOOCH-
Why don't you start by putting healthy purchase mandates on EBT cards?

I don't need "government approved" food. I'll continue to eat what I like.

Your average shopping cart today at $165 with annual maintenance of maybe $20.

Your Mooch-approved "nudge you" shopping cart...$30,000 with annual maintenance at $5,000.

Obola..."If you like your low-price groceries, you can keep your low-price groceries."

Yeah, right.
