Michelle Obama: America's Moms Are 'Confused and Bewildered,' 'Defeated' by Grocery Shopping
February 28, 2014 - 7:56 AM By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - Apparently it's not the price of the groceries, but the nutrition labels on food packages that make grocery shopping such a difficult and trying experience for the moms of America.
In pitching new, improved nutrition labels at the White House on Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama tried to identify with women who do the grocery shopping for their families. Her message was aimed at mothers who want to buy healthy food and depend on labels to help them do that:
"So there you stood, alone in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product? Is 50 percent of the daily allowance of riboflavin a good thing or a bad thing? And how on Earth could this teeny little package contain five whole servings?
"This stream of questions and worries running through your head when all you really wanted to know was, should I be eating this or not? Is this good for my kids or not? And if it is healthy, how much of it should I be eating? But unless you had a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope, or a degree in nutrition, you were out of luck. So you felt defeated, and you just gave up and went back to buying the same stuff you always buy.

Answer:
No. We’re. Not.
Go Away.
IIRC, Laura Bush bought her makeup from Walmart.
It sure was nice having an actual LADY in the White House who was humble to boot.
This purported woman can’t shut her pie hole. Her “progressive” attitude and perspective is so tiresome and unwanted. Is it possible to impeach and remove a First Lady (in this instance, the Worst Lady).
Michelle is just like all those other officious windbags.
Core of philosophy for life: One thing we don't want is to leave people alone!
Agreed. I am even thinking of changing jobs because the current one does not permit gardening.
As a mom I’m confused, bewildered, and defeated about smaller packages with higher prices while my pay decreases, all while being told the economy is fine.
How in the world would she know? I seriously doubt that she has done ANY grocery shopping.....EVER
Sadly, her view is somewhat accurate. America has been dumbed down to a pathetic level. Have to keep the sheeple on the plantation don’t you know.
So young folks are knuckleheads.
Women are stupid...
and Michelle is what? Queen of the world?

Her voter certainly is.
The top of her voter base has minions to perform the oh-so-proletarian task. The bottom doesn’t give a $*)(!
Bring them flamin’ cheetos over here!
Everyone else knows how to buy FOOD.
This idiot never ceases to amaze me.
She is clueless.

Your post is more profound that you realize. I believe you’re onto something. It would be fantastically refreshing to see someone stand up, directly confront the media, and cast PC aside with dramatic flair. At this point, a lot of people would love to see that. It could even be a social turning point.
Says the lady who hasn’t gone to a grocery store in AT LEAST the last six years......
No, we know how to shop. LOL!
Roger that. Just shop around the perimieter of the store for food, where the fresh fruits, veggies and meat are. Avoid the aisles and if it comes in a bag or a box it's probably not very good for you.
for her peeps it needs to be in ebonics.
