Michelle Obama: The Business Case for Healthier Food Options In recent years, they have generated more than 70% of the growth in sales for packaged-goods companies. By MICHELLE OBAMA

For years, America's childhood obesity crisis was viewed as an insurmountable problem, one that was too complicated and too entrenched to ever really solve. According to the conventional wisdom, healthy food simply didn't sell—the demand wasn't there and higher profits were found elsewhere—so it just wasn't worth the investment.

But thanks to businesses across the country, today we are proving the conventional wisdom wrong. Every day, great American companies are achieving greater and greater success by creating and selling healthy products. In doing so, they are showing that what's good for kids and good for family budgets can also be good for business.

There can’t be a mirror in our White House if this beast can’t see that she is a lard-ass with thighs like tree trunks and cankles to boot.

Must be a parallel universe if she actually thinks she’s something other than a fat-arse.

She has made a few companies rich by selling their inedible crap to school kids who have tossed it in the trash.

Then she comes out with this lying BS and the Media is eating it up.

Has anyone noticed the kids getting slimmer? Hell no you haven’t ,because it aint happening.

Michelle Obama HAS NO BUSINESS ACUMEN. She is almost as ignorant as her "husband" regarding the private sector!

What the hell is the Wall Street Journal giving her free column space? Any given small businessman or woman could educate people MORE about how capitalism works than the clown's beard.

“Has anyone noticed the kids getting slimmer?”

I have, it’s because food is so expensive now, parents cant afford to feed there kids any more then the staples. Not because of Bangs.

Also because their school lunch now consists of a couple of tofu cubes, a few celery stalks and a sprig of arugula.

Queen Lardbutt Visits The Food Channel

Food Channel's Paula Dean:
"Michelle Obama loves fried food and ate more than any other guest I've had on my show"

"I did a show with Michelle [Obama] and I just loved being with her."
"She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show."
"She kept eating even during commercials."

Slork, Slork, Slork, Slork, Slork, Slork, Slork.....

Oz is a celebrity. He hasn't been a real doctor in quite some time.

He's always peddling something, particularly so-called diet aids. He has also given some bad medical advice. He is or was a cardiac surgeon and mat know something about the heart, but he doesn't know much about the other medical specialties.

If I want medical advice, I won't trust a tv doctor. I trust a doctor who knows me, my medical condition and family medical history.

Top Secret:

-If you want your kids to lose a bit of weight and be healthier, make them play outside.

-If you want to keep your kid out of trouble, set the example, know their friends and where they are.

-If you want to be a successful parent, ‘raise’ your kids, don’t just watch little people grow into big people. If you’re not interested in, or incapable of “raising” your kids... skip the baby thing and get a pet, perhaps a goldfish.

Above all else, ignore this worthless twit in the White House.
