Michelle Obama credited her anti-obesity program with bringing about a "cultural shift" in the way Americans eat.
"Make no mistake about it. We are changing the conversation in this country. We are creating a cultural shift on how we live and eat. And our efforts are having an impact on our children's lives." The first lady touted the success of her Let's Move anti-obesity program during a visit on Friday to Orr Elementary School in Washington, D.C.
Obama said when she first began her signature initiative, she couldn't imagine a time when fast-food commercials advertised for breakfast sandwiches made with egg whites. And she praised restaurants like Red Lobster and Olive Garden for offering healthy choices.
Obama also reiterated an August study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that showed 19 states and territories saw obesity rates decline among low-income preschoolers.
But the first lady warned there was a still a "long way to go in solving this problem."
“Right now, we’re truly at a pivotal moment – a tipping point when the message is just starting to break through, when new habits are just beginning to take hold, and we’re seeing the very first glimmer of the kind of transformational change that we’re capable of making in this country."

Nanny State PING!
She praised Red Lobster and Olive Garden, two companies that are cutting workers’ hours because of obamacare.
It’s obvious these two would find each other. They’re both narcissists to the core.
It’s somewhat like clockwork. An hour after eating at Taco Bell, I most certainly think of Michelle Obama.
I hope there’s bacon on that thing somewhere!
That sir, is a Dagwood sandwich and a half.
Since most Americans can’t afford to eat due to 0bama’s brilliant handling of turning a recession into a depression. Credit goes to her husband not her.
awww ya had ta bring rye bread into it. Is that... cream cheese I see? And roast beef! And lettuce.
We just had croissants 2 hours ago & now, I’m craving a sandwich.
(now I have to go to the store)
It's probably true -- I know she kills MY appetite.
Look, I can’t prove it but I make the statement any way. Who is the real father of those kids?? Barry spent 10 years back on the Mainland prior to being ‘introduced’ to Moochella. There is NOT one single woman who has EVER come forth to say she dated this homo, kissed this homo, got felt-up by this homo, slept with homo, had sex with this homo, or has any photos or love letters with or from this homo!!! One has to stretch one’s imagination to picture this homo on top of Moochella going for the Gold!! Just didn’t happen. AIS maybe, but not actual intercourse. No way Jose!
“You gonna eat that?”
As someone who lives in the deep south, I hear ya, loud and clear!! Thanks for the much-needed laugh!
Thanks for the ping!
WMTA, I guess, I got it, and it worked for me. (I also got a really strange image of her "island hopping"...)
Say, was she anywhere near the ocean when Japan got hit? or Boxing Day?
She's taking credit for poor kids getting skinny?
Wow.
Notice they said "...and territories...", which means they really had to cook the stats.
One quantum closer to the America of my youth...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The mouse that roared. She is in the running for a Nobel Prize.
