Michelle Obama: Eating healthy will keep government out of your life
The Washington Times ^ | February 9, 2015 | Ben Wolfgang

First lady Michelle Obama believes Americans can keep the federal government from meddling with their lives by eating healthy foods and maintaining an active lifestyle.

In an interview with Cooking Light magazine published Monday, Mrs. Obama said the best way to avoid dealing with “the system” is to take care of one’s own body. Doing so, she said, will eliminate trips to the doctor and the need to deal with Obamacare.

“It’s just making sure people understand that the most powerful thing that they can do for their overall health is feed their bodies good nutritious food,” the first lady said. “If you don’t like the doctor, if you don’t like government, if you don’t like folks messing with your life, the best thing to do is make sure you’re healthy. Because that’s going to increase your odds for making sure that you don’t have to deal with the system.”

Mrs. Obama also said her signature “Let’s Move!” initiative will, over time, improve the lives of Americans and save the nation money.

If she’s saying I can diet my way back to the kind limited government the founding fathers envisioned, she has a deal.

“Do what we say and we’ll leave you alone.” How does that work again?

Conversely, if you are out of shape, Nanny Government will be watching you and may deny benefits to you or chain you to a treadmill. You will obey!

In other words, it's a threat.

When is the govt. going to monitor what items are being purchased by Food Stamps at grocery stores? I see women who pay with Food Stamps in the checkout line and they have boxes of Sunkist Soda, Frito-Lay products, high-sodium content frozen dinners, and donuts, for the most part. Then they go out to the parking lot and place their groceries in their Cadillac Escalades.
Yes, it’s true.

In this quote, the anti-Obamacare forces have their anthem.

These words should be reprinted a million times. They should be made unforgettable.

I am perfectly healthy and have been eating what I want for most of my 77 years on this earth. I do not need some hypocrite to tell me what and what not to eat. Best the mooooch listen to her own words if she thinks her fat behind is off limits to the gubmint. I don’t need her preaching to me.

So the Queen lost 40 pounds by liposuction so the intrusion of her body by the suction tube proves what she said.

“It’s just making sure people understand that the most powerful thing that they can do for their overall health is feed their bodies good nutritious food,” the first lady said...............while drawn butter for her lobster dripped from her chin.

What an arrogant piece of transgendered fecal stench. Word on the street is that she's the reason O'Bunga is constantly covered with flies.

Try screwing with me over my diet, and you'll really have something to snivel about, you Kommie K___.
