MICHELLE OBAMA: I COULDN'T FEED MY KIDS RIGHT–EVEN WITH A HARVARD DEGREE
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 16 Jun 2014 | by CHARLIE SPIERING

In an interview with MSN.com, First Lady Michelle Obama explained she used to struggle to feed her kids right—even though she received an education from Harvard and Princeton.

“Before coming to the White House, I struggled, as a working parent with a traveling, busy husband, to figure out how to feed my kids healthy, and I didn’t get it right,” she explained, sharing a story about her children’s doctor who pulled her aside to talk about her family diet.

“I thought to myself, if a Princeton and Harvard-educated professional woman doesn’t know how to adequately feed her kids, then what are other parents going through who don’t have access to the information I have?” she recalled.

Her personal struggle helped her launch her mission to address childhood obesity, she explains, especially passing a law requiring schools to provide healthier meals for kids.

The First Lady recommended that schools make decisions for children because their parents struggle to feed their children well.

Translation: “The sheeple are too stupid to know how to feed their children, so I’m going to dictate it to them. Oh, and I order you to ignore my fat ass.”

She may be telling the truth. A lot of Harvard graduates are just dumb on basic life skills.

I would say that Moochell couldn’t find her butt with both hands. But in her case that doesn’t seem possible

Ask Grandma. Humans have been doing that for hundreds of generations.

Educated idiots get a bad name from people like that.

Affirmative action Harvard degrees don't carry the prestige they once did, Mooch.
I believe your husband had something to do with that.

Ever notice how leftists overuse the word "struggle?"

Reading packaging labels are a "struggle;" therefore we need chunky leftists (who don't understand nutrition) from fed.gov mandating what our kids eat.

10/15/08?

That would have been during the 2008 campaign, so she would have been spending those donations from the little folk, US-residing or not.

According to the Wikipedia, Zero spent $760m getting elected, or $10.94 per vote. So, Moochelle burned about 41 votes' worth on that lunch, LOL!
