WASHINGTON -- Michelle Obama is urging the nation's largest food companies to speed up efforts to make healthier foods and reduce marketing of unhealthy foods to children.
Obama asked the companies, gathered at a meeting of the Grocery Manufacturers Association on Tuesday, to "step it up" and put less fat, salt and sugar in foods.
"We need you not to just tweak around the edges but entirely rethink the products you are offering, the information that you provide about these products, and how you market those products to our children," she said.

WTH is that?
“GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR FACES, YOU SOCIALIST MORON”
Please allow me to be the first to second that.
get the hell out of our kitchen! constitution, privacy
Cue the Ghetto-Snaps-Chicken-Neck lecture.
Isn’t govt healthcare supposed to take care of that?
This is going to be a ‘rough’ ride for us. These people have every intention of ‘ruling’ and no intention of ever ‘leaving’.
Kids don’t buy food.
Stupid woman....
“Meanwhile, I’d like to know why Michelle 0bama was banned from practicing law in Illinois.”
Hips too wide to stand next to in courts?
I THIRD that, unles someone already has, then I FOURTH or FIFTH it.
It’s much more about portion size than food composition.
Oh...oh...I think she wants to reduce the chocolate ration.
Dittos. Butt out, already.
I see where this is going.....barry’s babby momma is wanting a gov’t post for doing nothing but being married to the President...(Aint Femanism grand libs!) My guess is if this Health Care takeover gets passed or deemed passed whatever BS they pull....Barry will issue an executive order making a new Health Care CZAR and Michelle my belle will be comming after your Twinkies,Coca-Colas and whatever other “unhealthy” snacks the gov’t deems you can’t have..It’s for the Good of the State Comrade!! Enjoy your Salty or Sweet snacks while you can people.....
Maybe affirmative action didn't apply to her grades..
It’s none of her damn business, is what it boils down to.
Why? I would say that is becoming more increasingly obvious by the day! She crossed the wrong judge no doubt with her marxist preaching.
You won’t get me to eat the stuff health food nut people eat.. no taste bland flavors...most things look ugly...nope not me...
I’ll have a steak dripping with butter, salt to taste, baked potatoe with sour cream, corn on the cob, and a piece of cheery pie for desert! Nice balanced meal....By the way I still weigh the same weight I did in high school. % foot two @ 112-115.
Wondering if anybody has a picture of Michelle Obama with a sock stuffed in her mouth?
Exactly. Governing a free people, is NOT what they have in mind, they want to rule over, it couldn’t possibly be a clearer.
Or what, First Lady, you, your husband, and the Dems/Progressives will take them over too? =.=
Yeah, having MichelleMaBelle rant at them will really make the kiddies prefer broccoli to a candy bar.
Uppity field hand.
Food Giants? We used to have them here, but I haven’t seen one in a long time.
I was gonna say “butt out of our lives you big fat a**” but your response was better..............
If they’re smart, they’ll tell her to STHU!
What is she going to do about her husband? (smoking and drinking)
Very disturbing. On the upside, states are passing their own legislation to combat this onslaught. Hopefully a full scale revolution won’t be necessary but...
She makes me sick! A$$ like a sow, belly to match, and she’s got the nerve to lecture US about being fat? Pictures of her without airbrushing and special lighting show what a pig she really is. I guess her minions never let her see those as they are afraid she might (literally) eat them for lunch. Just like her POS husband, she believes her own propaganda.
Would that be so SHE won’t become a fatter pig than she already is...
or is because she gets her rocks off controlling the hell out of people’s lives?
And lets be real, maybe its BOTH!
I am usually at least polite, but tonight I am tired and sick. So...... SHUT UP, MICHELLE.
Huh? What is wrong with the information on the label? It's exactly what the GOVERNMENT demands that food companies put there under penalty of having their business destroyed.
Lends them credibility.
MO KNOWSSSSSSSSSSSSS about ‘food’ and ‘giants’. ‘Nuff said.
“I see where this is going.....barrys babby momma is wanting a govt post for doing nothing but being married to the President...(Aint Femanism grand libs!) My guess is if this Health Care takeover gets passed or deemed passed whatever BS they pull....Barry will issue an executive order making a new Health Care CZAR and Michelle my belle will be comming after your Twinkies,Coca-Colas and whatever other unhealthy snacks the govt deems you cant have.”
I think you’re on to something there.
Since you begged and pleaded..
Damn and I just bought a box of doughnuts
It's a not so subtle message, about the Chicago way...
I don’t know what it is.
I’ve never seen anything like it!
Luckily, I don’t scare easily:D
Seig Heil Chewie! STFU thunder thighs.
Who the hell are you to tell food producers to do anything? When I was growing up, my parents made food decisions regarding what we ate. What changed?
When ObamaCare passes it will be her business.
“Damn and I just bought a box of doughnuts.”
Mmmmmm! Doughnuts!
Now you want us to believe they have an obesity problem?
So....Michelle, WHICH IS THE LIE?????
It’s never the person’s fault for stuffing their face...it’s an evil corporation’s fault!
