Does anybody here ever go to a restaurant hoping to find carrots and apples on the menu? Sounds like snacks for horses.
Our good government nannies required our restaurants to post the nutrition information on every item in their menu. You would not believe the size of these wall sized nutrition guides. It cost millions of dollars for these restaurant chains to post them. And you know what? It did not change customer buying habits one bit.
If you want kids to stop getting fat, make them go outdoors and play. And kick them out of the house and tell them they can’t come inside until dinner; and after dinner, if they get all their homework done, they can play their video games. Don’t fill their heads with fears of boogymen and child molesters. Don’t tell them that the ex-dad is going to kidnap them. Give them a place where they don’t get run over by an idiot going 50 in a 25 mph.
The trouble is we have a society that doesn’t want kids running loose in the neighborhood. They think kids make trouble and, anytime they see one, it’s time to call the cops. Too bad and so sad we have a society with their panties in a knot and cannot let kids be kids.
She can have my high-calorie food from my cold, dead hands.
From Drudge and the AssPress:
“or his Super Bowl party Sunday evening, Obama is offering Yuengling Lager and Light, brewed in Pennsylvania, and Hinterland Pale Ale and Amber Ale, all the way from Wisconsin. Independents can pour down some White House Honey Ale if they like.
The rest of the menu for the 100 or so guests at the White House bash is tailgate-friendly even if served inside the Executive Mansion: bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeseburgers, deep-dish pizza and Buffalo wings with sides of German potato salad, twice-baked potatoes and assorted chips and dips.”
What no apple slices?
You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
Great . . . she's suggesting we get even less for our money. Wish she'd just go away - far, far away.
I’ll listen to Michelle’s advice on nutrition when her ass gets smaller.
If I recall correctly, some with actual credentials in the nutrition sciences argue that carrots are actually quite high in high-glycemic sugar; and milk (yup moo juice) can be quite harmful to the fairly high proportion of kids (and adults) with allergies to the proteins and/or hypersensitivities to lactose.
One suspects that the (alleged) first lady just might have some amazing ignorance about the entire topic of nutrition.

First of all, Michelle looks a little on the heavy side to me.
Second, most restaurants are already serving smaller portions and charging the same or more.
She really doesn’t have any business trying to change the way private enterprise sells their products (in this case what meals are served at restaurants). She wants serving sizes to be smaller in restaurants, really? I can see recommending calorie/fat grams on menues, but that is it. And then - it should be optional. These are private companies. This type of stuff gets on my nerves, kind of like the whole salt thing in NYC. This administration has already done enough economical damage, she really needs to back off.
Michelle wants to “give parents the confidence to know that they can go into any restaurant and get a healthy meal for their kids.”
1. Just about every restaurant in the country serves salads and has been doing so way before this busy-body came along. If parents want healthy food it’s ALREADY there.
2. I like the way she dictates orders for public school kids when her OWN kids are exempt from all of this nonsense at their pricey exclusive private school.
3. How did parents ever manage to raise their kids in the past without this gawd-awful broad in their faces telling them what to do?
They have pretty good food in Romania and Argentina, actually.
I don’t mean to be unkind, but no photo I have ever seen of the woman indicates that she knows the first thing about nutricion-—hers or anyone else’s.
On three separate occasions, the Torah tells us not to "boil a kid in its mother's milk." (Ex. 23:19; Ex. 34:26; Deut. 14:21). The Oral Torah explains that this passage prohibits eating meat and dairy together. The rabbis extended this prohibition to include not eating milk and poultry together. In addition, the Talmud prohibits cooking meat and fish together or serving them on the same plates, because it is considered to be unhealthy. It is, however, permissible to eat fish and dairy together, and it is quite common (lox and cream cheese, for example). It is also permissible to eat dairy and eggs together.
This separation includes not only the foods themselves, but the utensils, pots and pans with which they are cooked, the plates and flatware from which they are eaten, the dishwashers or dishpans in which they are cleaned, the sponges with which they are cleaned and the towels with which they are dried. A kosher household will have at least two sets of pots, pans and dishes: one for meat and one for dairy.
