Word to michelle obama:

The government has no say what so ever as to what I eat, period.

SO now they will buy two, Mars sells more, consumer spends more to get the previous amount of calories .. the size change doesnt alter the addiction ....

LOL Mars makes Cesar brand dog food for smaller dogs. Their bowing too Moochie is having me reconsider those 60 per month containers of Cesar I buy for my two Rattys and have done so for years.

Mars will most likely stop producing its king-sized candy bars all together since the large Snickers bar weighs in at 510 calories. I would bet that this move is more related to the ongoing food inflation that we're seeing everywhere, and less related to Her Majesty.

“We have a responsibility to help our consumers and the pets they love lead healthy lives,”Ahhh, a convenient spin to tell people when the dog food bag went from 20lb to 14lb.

The Gov should have NO SAY in what we eat, drink, say, laugh and enjoy. The Gov is NOT there to say "You must do this, or you must buy this"....
Precisely why that JagAzz obama will see obamacare repealed....and anything silly that his wife is working on. Complete waste of time. It means nothing. We ain't buying it. Period.
To: GoldnGate
Now it will cost much more to buy 2 whereas the big size was only 40 cents more. Forget saving money by having your kids split one. But why should Micelle Obama understand economies of scale?

I lost 50 lbs. I run about 30 miles a week. I eat at least 1 snickers bar a week. I don’t need a mommy from DC telling me what I can and can’t do.

The First Clydesdale has nothing else to do.
Remember the garden she was planting at the White House for the kids?
She was told it was built on top of fill from the Potomac that could be toxic. You never heard of any fruit or anything from that garden.
What a hippo.
