Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: “Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”
One of the former first lady’s signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trump’s administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.

The 53-year-old demanded: “And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on? You know, now that’s up to moms. Moms, think about this. I don’t care what state you live in. Take me out of the equation. Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be OK with that?
“Because here’s the secret: if somebody is doing that, they don’t care about your kid, and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about kids. That’s all we have. So we should be driving this and every elected official on this planet should understand: don’t play with our children. Don’t do it.”

Evidently riled, Obama continued: “‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.
“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem?

FOAD Mooshie. Your day in the sun has passed.
Don’t go away mad....
Me too. Just don’t plant cotton LOL.
Then Michele Obama is soon forgotten.
To answer the Wookiee’s question, we like our Freedom to choose what we eat. It is the responsibility of the parent, not the school or government to determine if their child should not eat certain foods.
It should be up to moms and dads, not the feds. Take it up with your school board - or pack their lunches.
And once again the insanity of liberalism raises it’s verrrrrry ugly head.
Go away, Moochie....just go away and stay away.
WE don’t want ya, don’t need ya and could care less what ya think.
We must respect her...she might run for president in 2020!
I stopped at the word “demanded”.
Of course I should have stopped at the name, Michelle Obama.
FUMO
Because....racist.

“Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”
Well you got to dictate that kids have to eat crap or nothing. That is why we aren’t ok with it. This aint north korea sweaty.
