Former First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of a healthy food and beverage company she co-founded that is targeted at fighting childhood obesity.

The former first lady spearheaded the Let’s Move campaign, a program aimed at ending childhood obesity, during her time at the White House. She announced her latest venture at the Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything Festival on Wednesday, May 3.

"We're hoping not to just provide healthy and delicious drinks and snacks for kids, but to jumpstart a race to the top that will transform the entire food industry," Obama wrote in a PLEZi Nutrition press release announcing the launch. "Because let's face it, even after everything we accomplished during the White House years, it is still simply too hard for kids to grow up healthy."

While Obama is PLEZi Nutrition’s co-founder and strategic partner, the company is led by a team of public health, nutrition, and parenting specialists.

PLEZi Nutrition is rolling out its first product, a fruit juice for kids, in four flavors containing 75% less sugar than average leading 100% fruit juices.

Our mom made Oatmeal for breakfast, tuna fish for lunch and meatloaf for dinner (fed 8 people with two pounds of hamburger).

Coffee pot was on 16 hours a day for the kid's ADHD.

Now, take a closer look at this sentence, and what it really means.

Her company is going to roll out its first product, which is, for all practical purposes, nothing more than watered down fruit juice.

Welch's just did something similar, watering down its grape juice and labeling it light" while selling it for the same price or higher than its pure grape juice. They are marketing it to people who find 100% grape juice too strong, but find it too inconvenient (or are too lazy) to add their own water.

"jumpstart a race to the top that will transform the entire food industry."

You money, your housing, your food.. These shit-birds are always trying to mess with every one else's stuff..

The stupid woman probably thinks she’s in the ‘private sector’ which berry hates but her whole world is made up of government hacks and grifters. Hard work is hardly her forte.

That is like getting investment advice from the Enron folks or How to win the Super Bowl from the Cleveland Brown or Detroit Lions...🤓

Thanks.....A LOT.

Good point.

[Thank You Rush]

“”that will transform the entire food industry,””

They sure love to “transform” everything!!!

Thanks for the link. The list does not look to bad although it is still heavily processed food. The one good thing is added fiber. Really odd is added Zinc. Seems that zinc a major antiviral, but the government keeps telling us that the only thing to do for covid is Paxlovid/ shot. Wonder if the FDA should investigate them for adding zinc?

WTF? Soluble Vegetable Fiber, Vegetable Juice (Color), Potassium Citrate, Fruit Juice (Color), Sodium Citrate , Magnesium Lactate , Natural Flavor , Malic Acid , Pectin , Stevia Leaf Extract , Monk Fruit Extract , Beta Carotene (Color) , Zinc Oxide

WIKIPEDIA: Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors, and first-aid tapes. Although it occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced synthetically.

I used zinc oxide primer in the sign business. The zinc oxide makes it adhere to aluminum by etching into the aluminum. Prior to using it, the aluminum was prepped with strong etching acids including Phosphoric Acid which is a common ingredient in soda like Pepsi and Coca Cola. Gives it that nice zingy taste.

Falkers are trying to kill us.

Now Fox is running ads disguised as articles for Mooch.

[I want the USA back]

She obviously had nothing to do with it - she just added her name to it.

Does she want to be president? I think so, along with these other women: oprah, kamala, whitmer, hohchul, lizzy warren, and petey butthead.

It’ll go over as well as First Man Mike’s lunch re-do...
