Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: “Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”
One of the former first lady’s signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trump’s administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.

The 53-year-old demanded: “And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on? You know, now that’s up to moms. Moms, think about this. I don’t care what state you live in. Take me out of the equation. Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be OK with that?
“Because here’s the secret: if somebody is doing that, they don’t care about your kid, and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about kids. That’s all we have. So we should be driving this and every elected official on this planet should understand: don’t play with our children. Don’t do it.”

Evidently riled, Obama continued: “‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.
“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem?

And eating LOBSTER and KOBI BEEF in mass quantities.
I looked at that picture of the garden, I can tell you right now that the BEAST DID NOT PLANT IT or nurture it. That garden took a lot of work, time, and effort.
The WOOKIE is way to fat and lazy to work that hard on a vegetable patch.
If we are going to tear it down, I say we put in a sand pit and some nets for bikini beach volleyball.
Demonstrate athletics and physical fitness.
Her legacy is eating caviar and sipping champagne
“He had double the carbs in his two scoops of ice cream than the reporters had in their one scoop.”
Good ice cream is mostly fat...
Great idea- send both hitlery and the wookie to the Aleutians and film the show for animalTV— bear encounters. Show concept is “eating natural foods”, and ..... weight loss with exercise — like hitlery’s wood walks, LOL. Theme Song—

Government is a necessary function for an orderly society. Government has a purpose to prevent other people from hurting you and taking your stuff or foreign countries from invading and taking all of our stuff.
Making children eat their vegetables is not a legitimate role for government. (< period, notice the period)
