Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign fails miserably
Daily Caller ^ | 01/09/2014 | Eric Owens

The healthy school lunches touted by Michelle Obama have not been popular. (RELATED: Kentucky students to first lady Michelle Obama: Your food ‘tastes like vomit’)

The complex body of meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first lady—at least until just last week when the USDA permanently abandoned the act’s ironic limitations on kids’ caloric intake of protein and carbohydrates.

Michelle Obama’s other signature issue — the Let’s Move! campaign to combat childhood obesity — also looks to be rapidly heading to the ash heap of history.

The Let’s Move! campaign was announced in 2010. Its ambitious goal: to solve the obesity problem in America within a generation.

So far, things aren’t going well. The latest data on kid fitness suggests that 3 in 4 kids aged 12 to 15 fail to meet the federal government’s minimum recommendations of an at least an hour of vigorous activity each day, reports an Associated Press at WNYW.

The data comes from a 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey of about 800 teens and preteens. The kids self-reported their own physical activity. They also submitted to physical exams.

Federal researchers would not express disappointment in a statistic showing that fully 75 percent of American kids don’t do a bare minimum of exercise each day.

“There’s always room for improvement,” said Tala Fakhouri, an optimistic scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who was the lead author of the study.

While she tries ti tell children what to eat that is good for them like peas and green beans the children say it suck as they watch mooooooooochele stuff her face with anything that sits still for more than 2 seconds.

Another one with ZERO credibility.

I say they did a pretty good job of duping 53% of the voting population.

I figure they duped about 7%.

About 20% voted for Obama because of his black skin.

Another 15% voted for him to get free stuff.

About 10% voted for him because they will vote for anyone who runs as a democrat.

I’ll bet the farm that the hypocrite Michelle eats like a frikkin’ pig.

According to Paula Deen, she does. When Michelle guested on Paula's show, Paula said Michelle really scarfed down the food, even when the cameras weren't rolling. Paula said she never saw anybody eat so much.

I thought the whole idea behind the “Let’s Move” was to soften her true image as a bomb-throwing Bolshevik. This was preaching to choir from the get-go. The supposed beneficiaries of the program won’t listen to her (or anyone else).

"Now THAT'S moving forward!! "

I find it scarey.

(Maybe she's forking on the "Great Leap Forward"?

Good parents make their own kid’s lunches...and even set aside something for their friends.

After seeing many of the images of Michelle shoveling food probably not on approved menues into her own mouth, I doubt even she could live on the menues her grand failure tried to inflict on school kids.
