Soon to be a mandate in a grocery store near you.
Is there *anything* they don't know how to do better than you?
I wish her majesty would step away from her self anointed throne and get a hobby or learn a craft to keep her busy. Maybe then she could leave the rest of the nation alone and in peace. I don’t care what she eats nor feeds her kids and I wish she would kindly give all other Americans the right to make their own food choices. What parents eat, what other peoples kids eat, is none of her business. She does not have any Constitutional right or authority to tell others what to do or what to eat.
What is her next royal decree? Having hubby declare that in order to buy food one must have a government mark on their wrist or forehead? She is out of control. They both are.
And here is Obamas Czarina of NUDGE......
Maya Shankar, a White House adviser cultivating a team tasked with subtly influencing Americans’ behavior, previously worked closely with the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, WND has learned.
Shankar has discussed utilizing cognitive science for social activism and is a champion of so-called social justice.

Maya Shankar is a former violin prodigy who performed with Itzhak Perlman at Juilliard. Inflamed tendons caused her to put down her fiddle, and now the United States is her instrument. So get ready to be played.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Shankar went on to Yale (where she studied cognitive science), Oxford and Stanford.
It would appear that she has never had an actual job unless you count “post-doctoral fellow.”
Shankar is not without accomplishments, though. She is a Rhodes scholar with a killer sense for publicity. She’s been featured on NPR three times and in Glamour and USA Today roundups of the nation’s most promising college students.
In Glamour, in 2006, she said her dream job would be presidential science adviser. So it has come to pass: For her first job, she is now “senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.” That’s right. Senior. This person was a senior at Yale as of 2007, but now she gets to tell you how to live your life. Sorry: encourage you to make choices that will make you happier.
I don’t buy the $30,000 shopping carts (unless they have a V-8). What the heck could be put on a cart that would make it cost that much? When a article comes out with a whopper like that with no backup, it tends to make me question the whole article.
Wait a minute... this isn’t Semmens? This is real???
We recently made a quick trip into the store to get just a few things, butter, cheese and bread, and when we checked out with our receipt received a coupon for $1.50 off on our next purchase of vegetables or fruit. We laughingly wondered if Michelle had registers scanning orders being rung up and if they did not have fruits and veg a coupon was to be given out. I still wonder...
I’ll eat Fritos covered w melted cheese and chopped chilies whenever I want to.
This ghetto person wasn’t elected to anything so we should ignore her. If she wanted to do something constructive, why isn’t she promoting education for black kids, instead of letting them think they are ‘acting white’ if they learn to read and sign their name.
are they going to fingerprint us like Venezuela?
Any sensors on *my* cart would meet an early demise.
As long as it remains SNAP and EBT participates and doesn't involve TAXPAYERS...
Most of these SNAP and EBT card holders make bad food choices because they aren't paying for it...
The last point is too ridiculous to even comment...spending $30,000 for a grocery card to scold you for making poor decisions...they will become $30,000 umbrella holders...
A points-based system reward for healthy food choices for food stamps recipients redeemable for movie tickets
Buy one, get one free deals for SNAP participants
Discount coupons for SNAP participants
A USDA loyalty card
Grocery store staff used to push the USDA nudging agenda by acting as ambassadors, steering people to the approved food choices
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.
If only Moochelle could control bad grammar and run on sentences ....
