The White House on Thursday announced first lady Michelle Obamas pick to lead her campaign for kids to eat healthier, saying Debra Eschmeyer would take over a post that has increasingly come under fire in Republican circles.
For more than a decade, Deb has been leading the way in teaching kids about the importance of healthy eating, the first lady said. From classrooms and gardens to kitchens and farms, Deb has made learning about nutrition fun and accessible for kids across the country.
Eschmeyer will take over the position of executive director of the Lets Move campaign, as well as senior adviser for nutrition policy, recently vacated by Sam Kass, Obamas former personal chef.
She will step immediately into a simmering political feud with Republicans, as some conservatives have argued that the first ladys efforts have caused school districts to lose money. Critics argue that students dont want to eat the healthy meals offered as part of the first ladys reforms.
The battle came to a head during the 2014 spending fight to keep the government funded and likely will re-emerge in coming months.
Eschmeyer co-founded FoodCorps, a service program offered through AmeriCorps, which places volunteers in low-income communities to provide lessons about nutrition.

Now that Michelle has pestered their Star Chef into leaving, she needs a new white target of her limitless rage.

I would be so damn disappointed if she wasn’t named Debbie.
Another idiot hack making $150K a year or our money for being a cardboard cutout. There are probably about a million or more of these types of uselessoids.

Generations of people figured out how to feed their kids without government help.
What a waste of money.

First the government came for my 5 gallon per flush toilet, but I could still get the chunks to go down, so I didn't revolt.
Then the government came for my incandescent light bulbs, but I could still sort of see with the mercury laden fluorescents, so I didn't revolt.
Then the government came for my kids' lunches but they could still move...but they didn't have the energy to revolt...
When is enough enough?
