This is like watching reruns of Man v Food and Diners, Drive Ins and Dives at midnight.
Big mistake. LOL
Have a good night my FRiend. Makes you wonder how we survived our youth being abused by having to eat all that food. In fact, I don't think Salad Bars even existed back in the 60’s. I'm surprised we are still breathing.
I use a 5 lb bag of sugar a year. I just don’t like sugar that much.
I see plenty of people that slog down 32 oz Dr Peppers with breakfast.
That’s their decision.
But that’s my decision.The Gov should hold no sway over family’s decisions or individual adult decisions.
You’ll not they always start with the childruns before they regulate the adults.
No. Its worse! There is nothing like the Italian Kitchen.
I know old geezers in their 80s that still hold the home made pizza night, with all the wine and fun.
Everybody will be there and having fun.
What else is there to do?
Write a bunch of dumbass laws?
“You’ll note”
Compare those to Sasquatch’s shoes....what the hell are those silver things she’s wearing?
Salad bar + kids = food fight. Can you imagine?
I agree with the carbs, simple sugars ok. All the HFCS and soy needs to go as well. It is clear, by watching salad eaters that it is not a weight loss answer.
Food fight, anyone? This shows MO doesn’t really understand how kids are “in the wild.” Besides, there are many other health reasons why that is not a good idea.
Also, where are the schools going to get the money for this? All the schools around here are hurting for funds thanks to all the government cutbacks.
Most salad bars I’ve seen have very fattening items, otherwise nobody would get them.
MO does come up with the most ridiculous ideas and they usually center around food. She was pushing for grocery stores to be built every few blocks to combat food desert areas. But it’s for the children! I live in the country. Who’s going to build two or three grocery stores between my house and town? As if a grocery would make any profit from so few customers and can you imagine the price mark ups for the customers? Then there’s her equally out of touch husband who wants to put a tax on my mileage when I can’t get in my car without it taking a 30 mile trip. They also want to crack down on home gardeners. Since I won’t be able to drive to town and I won’t be able to garden, there’s no other choice but to send my poor little hungry children on a 30 mile hike to get salad fixin’s. At least they won’t get fat on that trip. Geez, those two are clueless. MO needs to get another hobby that’s not food oriented.
I've also got a picture of a barely-moving salad bar line of giggly 8 year-olds, all playing build-a-salad with the varied little globules, slices and dices arrayed before them and little plastic scoops to pile on the pastel-colored fatty dressings and stale croutons and little reddish shoe-leather bits for garnish......
.....then most of these mountains of mush of will not be eaten and will end up along with taxpayers' dollars shoved through the swinging flaps of unmonitored trash bins.
This is another brain-seizure from administration food nazis.....and is eventually gonna come back to bite the naive, trying-so-hard-to-be-relevant, willing tool, Michelle, right in her asparagus.

You just know the “svelte” moochelle sits up nights in her bed eating mac & cheese, potato salad, pizza, ribs and cinnamon rolls until she passes out. Probably every night. I can”t wait for a tell all book from one of the staff years from now.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
People like Ms. Obama will not, cannot ever just leave people alone to live their own lives. Others must be "improved" or "enlightened" or have their consciousness "raised", if necessary: by force. It's for their own good and of course it's for... the children.
It’s really not much of a ‘decision’. If you go to an average public school, you’ll find 90%, if not more, is really bad food as an option. It’s funded by you and I, and so is the medical system; and that problem will continually be a ‘collectively charged’ premium via job pools (that or some stupid liberal ‘solution’). So young people have their ‘freedom’ to buy 90% crap in a public school and grow up to be out of shape, while we have the burden to pay for their medical premium costs.
Well this certainly is a first for me - (member since Jan. of 1999) - I have had a comment pulled by the moderator?? SO.... Michelle can tell us what to feed our children but we cannot point out that her girls eat ice cream constantly? My comment was simply that the author of this article - who made a snarky comment about Sarah Palin feeding her children cookies - needed to see a photo (that was ALSO PULLED) - that showed the Obama's woofing down ice cream. That was not the only photo.... If you care to search Yahoo photos from this summer of endless Obama vacations... they ate ice cream everywhere they went - not just one scoop either!
I did NOT say anything unkind about the Obama children, I did not discuss their looks or anything close to that - I ONLY COMMENTED on what SHE (Michelle) allows HER children to eat.... I feel it is hypocritical. If anyone can tell me how that warranted being pulled I would like to know!
I wasn’t criticizing you.
I was just trying to make clear that I was dinging Michelle for her GOVERNMENT IMPOSED hypocrisy.
My main point is that its not the governments job and that it costs us more money to administer this BS.
Wouldn’t it be simpler to pack a lunch?
I did not comment on her at all - I only pinged the poster of the original article and said they should forward that photo to them and ask why Michelle thinks she has any standing to tell American parents what to feed their children. I think its perfectly fine for children to eat ice cream, cookies, AND salad - all things in moderation....
BUT mostly - I think its our right to choose what we eat and she is a hypocrite if you look at the photos of what her family ate all summer.
I am sincerely looking for an explanation from the moderator - because after 12 years here - this must be some kind of new policy!
I posted the ice cream shots.
Did they get pulled?
The Obamas are the most Nero like gluttons I have seen in public office next to the Kennedy’s.
I Love ice cream and all that stuff but don’t try to regulate us you hypocrite aholes
Going back to check the admin moderator action on the thread now.
