Star Telegram ^ | 3/16/10 | Mary Jalonick

Posted on 03/16/2010 8:07:28 PM PDT by pissant

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.

This is going to be a ‘rough’ ride for us. These people have every intention of ‘ruling’ and no intention of ever ‘leaving’.

Why? I would say that is becoming more increasingly obvious by the day! She crossed the wrong judge no doubt with her marxist preaching.

Exactly. Governing a free people, is NOT what they have in mind, they want to rule over, it couldn’t possibly be a clearer.

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!

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.

They've been telling us for decades that children don't have enough to eat and they are all starving.

Now you want us to believe they have an obesity problem?

So....Michelle, WHICH IS THE LIE?????
