The healthy school lunches touted by Michelle Obama have not been popular. (RELATED: Kentucky students to first lady Michelle Obama: Your food tastes like vomit)
The complex body of meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first ladyat least until just last week when the USDA permanently abandoned the acts ironic limitations on kids caloric intake of protein and carbohydrates.
Michelle Obamas other signature issue the Lets Move! campaign to combat childhood obesity also looks to be rapidly heading to the ash heap of history.
The Lets Move! campaign was announced in 2010. Its ambitious goal: to solve the obesity problem in America within a generation.
So far, things arent going well. The latest data on kid fitness suggests that 3 in 4 kids aged 12 to 15 fail to meet the federal governments minimum recommendations of an at least an hour of vigorous activity each day, reports an Associated Press at WNYW.
The data comes from a 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey of about 800 teens and preteens. The kids self-reported their own physical activity. They also submitted to physical exams.
Federal researchers would not express disappointment in a statistic showing that fully 75 percent of American kids dont do a bare minimum of exercise each day.
Theres always room for improvement, said Tala Fakhouri, an optimistic scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who was the lead author of the study.

I say they did a pretty good job of duping 53% of the voting population.
Yes, two things
Fleeced the country and
destroyed the Constitution.
unlike the Bush’s reading initiative, Moochelle’s lets move had political teeth attached to it.
Sure, she can room with some Muslims, she feel right at home
Absolutely true. If she was really serious about cutting childhood obesity and obesity for the rest the very least she could do is mandate (isn't that how the Obama’s do everything?) that EBT cards could only be used to buy real foods- not candy, chips, sugared cereal, soda, fast food, etc. But that would rile the democrat base. Not going to happen.
G-R-O-S-S
My relationship with cheese is forever altered, shame on you!
HA!
re: her Lets Move campaign is in fact VERY SUCCESSFUL
she moves around a hell of a lot (on taxpayer-paid jet airplanes)
And she & hubby have also managed to move millions of Americans from their jobs to sitting on their butts at home. That certainly needs to be counted in the success column for 2 people who hate our country.
Trampled the Constitution.
They have yet to successfully destroy it. But, I suppose that there is still time.
Working in forced labor camps will give Americans the exercise they need.
You didn’t see many fat people in the German camps.
Buraq, the loving husband, warned not to get between Michelle and a tamale (or something)......
She would be Limburger.
“Seriously....is there ANYTHING that either one of these cretinous reprobate scumbags have ever done successfully?”
NO!!!
Let’s Moo.
