Mrs. Obama’s 2nd-Term Agenda: ‘Impact Nature of Food in Grocery Stores’ By Elizabeth Harrington September 4, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – Asked by Parade magazine, "What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to "impact the nature of food in grocery stores" with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt.

“With 'Lets Move!,' our goal is to end the problem of childhood obesity in a generation,” Mrs. Obama said. “And while we’ve seen some very profound cultural shifts, we still have communities that don’t have access to affordable and healthy foods. We still need to find a way to impact the nature of food in grocery stores, in terms of sugar, fat, and salt.”

Mrs. Obama also discussed the challenge of “educating families” on healthy lifestyles in a society where “TV is rampant.”

“[W]e need to keep educating families about how to structure a life that is healthy in a society where TV is rampant and communities don’t have enough resources in terms of sports and activities,” she said.

As CNSNews.com previously reported, Mrs. Obama’s “Lets Move!” campaign has published an online guide called “Supermarket Shopping 101” that provides tips for shoppers on the importance of making a list and how to navigate a grocery store.

“Steer clear of the cookie, snack and soda aisle until after you’ve collected everything on your list--at that point, your cart should be full, which might make you feel less tempted to buy things you don’t need,” the guide states.

Can't have parents making those decisions. Too dangerous.

Good grief... meanwhile she continues to pork out on ice cream wherever she goes.

Keep talking Michelle; your time is about up.

If your rear end doesn’t fit in a washtub, you should leave the food policing to others.

I just can’t see why people take her seriously. I mean she is definitely at least 15 pounds overweight. If Jill biden or Laura Bush was coordinating this, it would be much more believable that they are serious.

America is not looking for a GOD King the likes of Obama, nor is it looking for a Queen ala Michelle Obama.

Steer clear of the cookie, snack and soda aisle

If the First Butt gets her way, there will be no more cookie, snack and soda aisles.

Well Moo Moo (AKA WOTUS) I can help you on the other end. Make it mandatory that food stamps are only good for fresh vegetables and fruits and raw whole grains and lean meats.

Change the demand, the market will adjust.

She has no education or nutritional background to be qualified to declare herself an authority on these issues.

I find the entire question, “What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” offensive. She is not an elected official. She doesn’t have a second term or even a first term. Her husband is a public employee who is about to be fired from his job. The public should not be paying for her 24 assistants, or her vacations. FUMO

Oh my! She is so wonderful!

Maybe she can standardize all grocery stores for us! We could be allotted a certain number of items from each row. More items permitted from vegetable and fruit rows and (of course) only one item from the soda isle. At check out as each item was scanned for price, it would also tally your row totals to make sure you didn't go over!

And if you did go over you would be required to pay a tax.. or fine... whichever term Justice Roberts deems more constitutional.

I take her dead seriously. One only needs to look to occupied Rhodesia to see her intent. Starvation, poverty, disease and racial oppression for the masses. Give them another 4 years and they will accomplish their goals in two.
