...Michelle Obama Announces Commitment by Subway® Restaurants to Promote Healthier Choices to Kids
White House ^ | 1/23/14

Posted on 01/24/2014 11:10:01 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, First Lady Michelle Obama joined the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) and SUBWAY® along with SUBWAY® Famous Fans Michael Phelps, Nastia Liukin, and Justin Tuck at a local Washington, DC, SUBWAY® Restaurant, to announce a three-year commitment by the chain in support of her Let’s Move! initiative to promote healthier choices to kids, including launching its largest targeted marketing effort to date. In addition to strengthening its already nutritious menu offerings to kids, SUBWAY® will launch a new series of campaigns for kids aimed at increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and will set new standards for marketing products to families.

“I’m excited about these initiatives not just as a First Lady, but also as a mom,” said First Lady Michelle Obama. “Subway's kids' menu makes life easier for parents, because they know that no matter what their kids order, it’s going to be a healthy choice.”

A friend showed me the facebook page of Subway. The decision is not going over well.

Subways—healthy? that’s a joke. Their sandwiches are adequate if you’re starving...but the cold cuts are not the best quality.

Looks like I’m done with Subway. I refuse to support anyone who bends over for the Government nanny staters. Especially a nanny stater who has never been elected to anything.

How any reputable company can get in league with that decidedly overweight, pompous, and arrogant SOB is beyond me. Maybe they’ll use her arse photo for a “before” picture.

Honestly, she and everyone in our White House must live in a parallel universe . . . how can she still promote healthy lifestyles, when she is very overweight, her husband smokes, and he is probably engaging in very dangerous sexual encounters with his “lover”?

Guess that’s another one that goes bye-bye. Keep the damn liberals/government out of private business.

Reminding me of the old joke:
Q. What's the difference between buggers and broccoli?

A. Kids won't eat broccoli.

Subway is a great place to eat, if the only alternative is roadkill ‘possum.

Walking in there and seeing Moochelle’s angry face would make the ‘possum worth eating.

Are they going to say that Subway will give you a big ol’ ghetto booty like Moochie’s?

I see on the Facebook page someone hinting that Subway is paying Michele $41 million to do this spot.

Any way to find out if that is true?
