First lady Michelle Obama had tough words for grocery manufacturers Tuesday, telling them to “step it up” in their efforts to provide healthier foods to children and curb obesity.
At a conference at Washington’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, Obama talked about her own efforts on the childhood obesity front, explaining that her goal was to “finally make this national public health threat a national priority.”
“I’m here today to urge all of you to move faster and to go farther, because the truth is we don’t have a moment to waste,” she said in a 20-minute address. “So, we need you all to step it up.”
In recent weeks, most of the first lady's public appearances have been centered on her “Let’s Move” initiative, launched last month.
She recently penned an essay for the cover of Newsweek on her efforts and has traveled to highlight success stories in addressing childhood obesity. And she’s used her roles as a mother and as a fitness fanatic, to urge parents, school officials, mayors and governors to get more involved.

FUMO
Perhaps the love handles under that big fat belt she wears.
Note the neanderthal underbite.
(Apologies to any Neanderthals in the crowd.)
Piss off lady. YOU go into the grocery business and sell what you want. Who the hell are YOU to tell businesses what to sell and what NOT to sell.
The fact is, Michelle, you couldn't sell watermelons if the state police were pulling people over....Dan Rather said that, not me.
Woman has all the charm of a rabid hyena
FLOTUS is just a little ray of sunshine!
Shut up Marxist bitch.
Grocers to Michelle - STFU!
"Yep, the First Lady shut me down! Said it was because of all the Snickers bars and sodas I sell by the register, back there. Heading for the unemployment line."
LMAO ~ that is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw they called her a ‘fitness fanatic’. I think her arms got that ‘buff’ by raising them and pointing at Dumb0 just the way they show her pointing at the grocers in the photo!
Agreed. They need to manufacture a standard, low-protein, low-calcium, synthetic gruel for everyone. The peasants are getting too tall and smart. ...can’t see over ‘em easy enough.
I heard the best example of this administration today on Fox News... if it’s in the Yellow Pages, Obama want’s to nationalize it.
Michelle, STFU. It ain’t your business. Jackie Kennedy you ain’t.....Hell, you ain’t even Moms Mabley.
The nerve of that fat assed sasquatch...
Michele is really embarassing to herself and all normal thinking people everywhere. She comes into the WH the size of a barn with a rearend to match.
Yeah, childhood obesity, that’s the ticket. Coming from an amazon like you that should really make an impact on the kiddos. Sheeesh...
