First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign against childhood obesity got a big boost in Congress on Thursday, in the form of a letter signed by more than 1,100 groups that asks House members to immediately pass a childhood nutrition bill when they return next week.
Signers include food, beverage and supermarket companies; public health, education, anti-hunger, faith-based, children's, women's, minority groups; and unions. They want the House to pass a $4.5 billion bill that cleared the Senate by unanimous consent just before the August recess.

“Hi Pot, I’m Kettle”
The children should push for an adult obesity law to shrink the girth of Chewbacca...
da wookie gits $4 billion in taxpayer money to fund her pet cause
and some faux role for a faux cause, to pacify her scowly discontent at playing 2d fiddle to Buraq and enduring the travails of being flotus
What's that, you say? ONLY Babygotbakka is allowed to indulge because she knows better than you uneducated, bitter-clinging, unwashed masses? You peons and those filthy rug rats get celery & dirt 3x a day. No arugula for you!
***************************
Her slogan stinks. I think she should rename the campaign:
"Move it, Fatso"!
That's much catchier, don't you think?
This why she scarfs down ice cream, burgers and fries.
If only FLOTUS would lead by example ...
I wonder how much she is getting paid to push this bill. and who stands to gain the most financially if this bill passes?
Out of these usual suspects, who is set to gain the most? I assume that with $4b on the table, there's enough for everyone to get their cut; but I would place my bet on the food and beverage industries to get the lion's share.
They should rename it and try again. Shake Your Lard Ass. or Move Your Fat Butt. Something catchy but more to the point. Something that would connect it to its creator, MommaObamma.
Ahhh, we think alike.
No! I am not getting out from behind this podium!
Those Freepers are just going to make fun of my fat @$$!
GMTA, baby! :)
She is unelected and asking to pass and fund her 4.5 billion policy. NO
So we should spend $4.5 billion dollars borrowed from the Chinese because our kids are too well fed and have too much leisure - only in America
A letter signed by more than 1,100 groups that asks House members to immediately **pass a childhood nutrition bill** when they return next week.
The pack of idiots wants the government to tell you what you can eat,no wonde things are so screwed up.People like that need to be kept under supervision 24/7.
So when does the funding end. It's going to cost a lot more than $4 billion as time goes by if these entitlements are permanent.
This will expand the school lunch program? Excuse me, but they’re already getting free breakfast, lunch, and meals are offered in the summer months. Other than MO’s behind, what is to expand?
