Potatoes....one of those great foods that fill your tummy. And gravy...a whole jar is 100 calories.

Moosehell just created a few hundred thousand potatoe conservatives.

It is an historical fact that in the early 1800s Irish Croppers ate, on average, about 8 pounds of potatos a day, and they had millions of descendents...very healthy ones indeed.

Mossehell is so full of it , that her ears have turned into anuses.

Moochelle is proof positive that stupid people always believe that they’re the smartest person in the room.

We need to replace wic and ebt programs with some contract companies that box up basic emergency food packages and ship or arrange pickup for those that need it.

This would help eliminate the fraud associated with the current system. Plus, it would reduce productive citizen animosity that come from seeing people buy prime cuts of steak when the productive people may have to bypass even the low price ground stuff so they can stay on budget.

My Mother always told me the jackets of potatoes contain rich vitamin/minerals. She raised eight healthy children. Michelle puts too much butter on hers maybe.

Even more to the point...

“...not the latest government reports...”

Why does the Potato Council need to rely on government reports to verify that ‘taters are good/safe to eat?

There was an interview with a young Irish boy in the 1800s that was related in a book....

Interview asked what the boy ate for breakfast. 'Potatoes' was the answer. Same question for lunch and supper. Same answer.

The interview asked if that's all the boy had.

The boy replied, "Of course not, I have a spoon."

I shop at a grocery store that has a high percentage of shoppers with subsidies. Now I know why they always run out of sweet potatoes.

This is insane. What Michelle and the potato council should be doing is educating people to eat the whole potato especially the potato skins.

A personal note. Yesterday, I was shopping, and what I encountered was hilarious and heartwarming. A young woman, 21, who is three months pregnant decided to do it right and work at it to have a healthy child. Her mother brought her shopping for the first time with her WIC list. The young woman did not know how to buy healthy foods as she always ate out junk food. The young woman was radiant and accepting the shopping situation with grace and humor. WIC might actually be a rarity....a gov program that does good, enabling this woman and others to have healthy pregnancies.

And then, you have the person that maxes out their WIC purchases and sells their booty to someone out the back door,

buys booze, cigarettes, and junk food with the proceeds.

If one wants to see the pitfalls of overreaching beauracracy, one only has to look at this “debate”. How many pencil-pushers do you think we’re paying for to solve this important and difficult policy decision?

School lunches are her opening salvo as a candidate....although Moocher riding to office on a potato is rather funny.

=================================================

BACKSTORY The itinerant WH parasite (AKA the first lady) is getting ready to launch herself into a political campaign....on the backs of hungry children.

Notice that Michelle is looking---and sounding--- more and more like a candidate everyday. Recent news clips of the I/P making the HS grad speech (where she ordered kids to squeal on their families) shows she's been coached well. The way she used one hand to subtly gesticulate while making her points, was the tipoff.

Let's go back to her last trip on the taxpayers' dime.

That would be the I/P's pricey China trip.... "sold" to Americans as a "non-political" visit...she was just there to chat up education.

But all of her appearances and inane remarks were connivingly structured for one purpose: to set herself up as a future candidate....and doing it on our dime.

MISSION CREEP Then the WH let loose with the final explanation....that her trip, and the tripe she was pedaling, was "soft diplomacy" ---- to "ease tensions" between the US and China (which have further deteriorated).

Come again? Who elected this self-serving creep? Who gave her diplomat credentials? She was there to "ease tensions" between the US and China---but flopped bigtime as Us/China relations have deteriorated even further.

I just can't wait til candidate Michele announces that she's s-o-o-o-o popular, she raised $50 million dollars in 2 hours.

But I hope Valerie Jarett doesn't get carpel tunnel syndrome wire-transferring federal funds offshore for Michele's campaign expenses.

ROTFLOL.

The baked potato is sustaining, life-enhancing and delicious.

I wonder if Michele is a fan of the Potato Famine - for others, not herself.

I’m not above eating the skins of potatoes left by friends when we dine in restaurants. They are the most delicious part of the potato - of course, I’m talking about the Russet, not Yukon Golds, etc.
