Michelle Obama vows to help ‘confused and bewildered’ moms shop for groceries

First lady Michelle Obama has vowed to help “confused and bewildered” moms wandering aimlessly in the aisles of America’s grocery stores.

The help won’t come in lower prices, but in redesigned nutrition labels that will bold calories and “added sugar” and will more accurately describe serving sizes, according to CNS News.

“As consumers and as parents, we have a right to understand what’s in the food we’re feeding our families,” Obama said Thursday in a press conference at the White House. “Because that’s really the only way that we can make informed choices — by having clear, accurate information.”

Fresh off declaring that “young people are knuckleheads” when it comes to signing up for healthcare, the first lady seems to think moms are equally inept at shopping.

“So there you stood, alone in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product?” she said.

Saying hapless moms want to do the right thing, Obama suggested many give up in defeat because they can’t decipher current nutritional labels without “a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope or a degree in nutrition.”

“This stream of questions and worries running through your head when all you really wanted to know was, should I be eating this or not?” she said, according to CNS News. “Is this good for my kids or not? And if it is healthy, how much of it should I be eating?”

Thankfully, we have big government to help us make such difficult decisions.

She assumes we’re all as intellectually limited as she.

Somehow, she ended up with two Ivy League degrees, so I could see how she’d be confused.

"Somehow, she ended up with two Ivy League degrees..."

Her husband received a Nobel Peace Prize before he knew where all the White House restrooms were located. Same sort of thing.

Someone needs to tell Moose that most American Mothers are not stupid like the mothers that put her husband in the white hut twice. Also, since the mothers that voted for her husband can’t read, changing the labels won’t help. Moose needs to demand that pictures replace words on food labels. That should cost even more and require larger packaging. Or course that is a waste of money and effort too. Since the mothers who voted for her husband are too lazy to go to a grocery store or prepare a meal for their family. Yes Moose should know, food labeling is not the problem. The MSM mislabeling her husband since he came on the national scene was the problem. He is not smart. He is not wise. He is not a leader. For all we know he is not even her husband.

Thank God the forever vacationing on the American tax payer dime "wife of the resident" is helping the stupid American housewife and mother shop for groceries, she actually took time out of her busy schedule of champagne, caviar and lobster lunches to enlighten them. What a gal!

I would wager it’s been over 10 or 15 years since
Michele has been grocery shopping for her family.

If she’s so concerned about this shopping thing, I
wonder if she went shopping before the Christmas
vacation to stock up the larder of Airforce One
before winging out to Hawaii. Groceries must be
a bit higher out there, got to save taxpayer money
don’t ya know.

When was the last time she did any shopping of her own - THAT DIDN’T involve $10,000+ gowns or jewels?

Guess it’s true - “Them that can, do. Them that can’t, teach.”

Why does she have this great interest in our food? What’s her problem? Is she going to become a problem to our food supply?

No leaders. No will.

Rebellion makes people pale. Blood would be shed. Lots of people aren’t willing to do that.

Only about 30% took part in the American Revolution, IIRC.

Has Mooche advised them to marry into politics so that they never need worry about budgets and such?

Wow. She certainly is an arrogant, condescending, elitist. I’m sure more women are confused and bewildered about how this couple got into the White House....twice.

Wow, Michelle Obama, Secretary of Food Shopping. It is a new cabinet position created illegally by her gay boyfriend.

I’d rather have help in just finding crap in the store.

They move stuff every so often for better marketing position and it wastes my time trying to find it again.

Help Moochelle!

Oh please. Talk about turning a flat tire into a 16-car pile-up.
