Michelle Obama vows to help ‘confused and bewildered’ moms shop for groceries

First lady Michelle Obama has vowed to help “confused and bewildered” moms wandering aimlessly in the aisles of America’s grocery stores.

The help won’t come in lower prices, but in redesigned nutrition labels that will bold calories and “added sugar” and will more accurately describe serving sizes, according to CNS News.

“As consumers and as parents, we have a right to understand what’s in the food we’re feeding our families,” Obama said Thursday in a press conference at the White House. “Because that’s really the only way that we can make informed choices — by having clear, accurate information.”

Fresh off declaring that “young people are knuckleheads” when it comes to signing up for healthcare, the first lady seems to think moms are equally inept at shopping.

“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?” she said.

Saying hapless moms want to do the right thing, Obama suggested many give up in defeat because they can’t decipher current nutritional labels without “a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope or a degree in nutrition.”

“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?” she said, according to CNS News. “Is this good for my kids or not? And if it is healthy, how much of it should I be eating?”

Thankfully, we have big government to help us make such difficult decisions.

Is there anything they do that doesn't cost us millions or billions of dollars? And who put her in office?

I'm sure she axe the kitchen staff for a full list of all ingredients.

If these mothers are confused and bewildered, they shouldn’t be having kids.

She’s part of the government so she’s in charge of the families

At whole foods they asked for a donation
I asked for an explanation of the program just to discourage
It’s a program to teach kids in school how to eat. I guess anvextension of this. It’s to tell kids their moms can’t feed them competently. No I don’t want to contribute to the breakdown of the family

“Oh, those stupid regular American moms! They’re so confused, they don’t know how to shop. Knuckleheads! I’ll make sure they eat their strained carrots and mushy peas while I wine and dine with Belgium chocolate coated cake-balls”

It is easy for her; Wookies just kill whatever they see to eat.

I thought that she had 42 special royal servants to do her shopping. So lard-ass is continuing to tell us that we’re fat, and that she knows what to eat. Good thing most American women don’t pay any attention to the fat-butted jackass.

Can’t she just do the shopping quietly and unobtrusively put the groceries in the pantry and leave. Preferably, thru the back door.

“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, 'cause you gots an appointment at the nail salon and a 4 hour hair braiding after that, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product "Is there enough money left on my EBT card for these Lobster tails, or am I going to have to settle for that Standing Ribroast?” she said.

The Romanians, Filipinos, Libyans, Egyptians and French were able to overthrow despots with little or no weaponry. What’s our excuse?
