First Lady: 'Have pie! Eat the dressing!' By Elise Viebeck - 11/27/10 11:36 AM ET
First Lady Michelle Obama encouraged American families to enjoy their food over the holiday weekend and not to worry about "how much you eat."
Obama, who is spearheading a nationwide campaign against childhood obesity, explained to 20/20 host Barbara Walters that "this is the time" to let go a bit.
"I would urge people to use this time to come together, as families and community, and don't take it for granted. Be kind to each other and laugh a little bit. And don't worry about how much you eat. Just enjoy it," she said.
She later added, "Have pie! Eat the dressing!" when prompted to explain her comment.
The wide-ranging interview also included a discussion of Obama's campaign, dubbed "Let's Move," which focuses on healthy eating among schoolchildren.
"You know, our goal is ambitious but simple," Obama said. "We want to end the epidemic in a generation. We're really aiming at children born today, because our goal is that if we begin shaping habits and shaping the conversation and providing information to parents and teachers and engaging all of our leaders in this conversation, that we'll change the habits of young people today."
The First Lady has faced criticism from Republicans, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for advocating what they characterize as government-overreach.
"A government has a role to play in this issue, as does every other sector," Obama rebutted in the interview. "And we reached out and engaged the grocery store manufacturers and the restaurateurs. We brought in the mayors and governors of states and towns. We're calling on faith-based community. There is no constituency that should be excluded from this call to action for our kids."
Both Obama and President Obama commented in another portion of the discussion that they both exercise to relieve stress.
The interview aired Friday.

How magnamimous of her. Michelle has absolved the masses of any guilt from the sin of gluttony. /sarc
Ten axe handles wide...
.....elbow, not fist?
Let them eat cake. Someone else once held this view
“Bread is bad, milk is bad, butter is bad, meat is bad....”
But not the expensive Kobe beef. They serve that in the White House doncha know.
And Moochell tells the masses “let them eat stuffing” The masses were happy the queen has given them permission.
Did she mention anything about having “cake”? Just axin’....
Eat, drink, and be merry!
This is laughable. She is NOT a role model for anything...
What in the heck difference does it make what the kids are like in this country in another few years? It’s not going to be the same country and there will be plenty of other things to be worried about, other than whether kids (or any of us) are too fat. Thanks to the folks who think we can’t live without their two cents!
This is what is scary about the Obamas! They want to indoctrinate the children not with just this obesity program but with socialism at its core!
Drink, and eat mary. burp.
Moochie has gained 20 to 30 lbs. since living in our White House. Her younger daughter is decidedly overweight.
If she began with her own family she might have a bit more credibility.
As for the big dummy, every time we see him he is stuffing his face with an ice cream cone. And word is they have a personal chef in the White House.
” laugh a little bit. “
Not a lot..just a little.
Apparently Mooch is not concerned with the diet of her family, just the rest of us.
She routinely takes her girls for hamburgers and shakes and high fat foods.

documents the excesses.
Just a small sampling of the many restaurant high fat outings we pay for.
“..the mother-daughter pair sampled burgers, fries, onion rings, and a variety of hand-spun shakes—including cocoa, vanilla, toasted marshmallow and Milky Way Malt. “

“I t was Mrs. Obama’s second visit to We The Pizza; pizzerias seem to be a frequent choice when she’s out with the girls.
During their visit to Los Angeles in June,
Mrs. Obama and the girls dined at Pizzeria Mozza;
while touring New York in April,
they visited Grimaldi’s pizzeria.

” The girls, who have just kicked off summer vacation from the private Sidwell Friends school, ate hot dogs with ketchup
while their mother had a mild Polish sausage with mustard, grilled onions and jalapenos, according to Pink. “

In Maine this past summer :
“ Today’s chow highlights included an ice cream run to Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream ..”
A few hours later they had this :
“.. The President and Mrs. Obama had lobster, and Malia and Sasha had fried shrimp baskets, according to Currier,
and the girls shared a slice of blueberry pie.”

mooch-elle: Shut up. No one cares to hear your opinion about anything. Please pay back all the money you have stolen over your equal-opportunity life time. YOU are the ultimate welfare queen. First Lady of The Welfare Queens. Shut your pie hole.
I keep trying to peer into the Obama’s future after they’ve left office (if you notice i used the plural )
I’m not getting anything.... I wonder what their public profile will be then and what will they go on to do in
their “community”
